The San Bernardino County Registrar of Voters Office has fallen far behind the pace it maintained in counting votes throughout the county during the last dozen or more elections.
After posting the initial mail-in ballots at 8:30 p.m. on election night, the office was delinquent with regard to its 10 p.m., midnight, 2 a.m., 4 a.m. and 6 a.m. updates.
Indeed, as of 6 a.m. the tally of votes in this year’s election was well behind what has been normally available by 10 p.m. during typical elections.
Interim Registrar of Voters Stephanie Shea offered no explanation as to why the count was being delayed.
