JONATHAN TURLEY: California proves voters get the government they tolerate
California's slow vote counting process has been criticized, with the state taking up to two weeks to count all votes, unlike other large states like Florida which declare winners within 24 hours. The state's voters seem to have low expectations from their government, tolerating subpar performance and inefficiency. This has been attributed to the one-party dominance in the state, which has created a culture of passive voters who expect little from their government.
