once it"is fully confident a race has been won — defined most simply as the moment a trailing candidate no longer has a path to victory."that 1.7 million ballots were still unprocessed in California.says."Election officials have approximately one month to complete their extensive tallying, auditing, and certification work ", Newsom had about 5.4 million votes, or 59%, while Republican state Sen. Brian Dahle had about 3.8 million votes, or 41%.
The Associated Press — not the state of California, which was still counting ballots as we wrote this fact-check — declared Newsom the winner after the polls closed. The Associated Press calls winners in races when it concludes there’s no way a trailing candidate can mount a successful comeback and clinch the race.
California is expected to certify its election results Dec. 5, after all eligible ballots have been counted. The statement in the post contains an element of truth but ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, so we rate it Mostly False.
