The contrast could not be clearer. California struggles for over a month to tally just 95 percent of its ballots, while Florida wraps up the entire process in an hour and a half. This is not about size or complexity.

Under strong leadership, Florida proves that efficient, secure elections are achievable. Quick counting means transparency and public trust, without the drawn-out uncertainty that plagues other places.

Americans want election results they can believe in right away. States should follow Florida’s lead by streamlining processes, ensuring integrity, and delivering timely outcomes that strengthen our republic.
