Has anyone seen the final vote tally?

I am most curious about which counties had trouble counting their votes.  Even now, after over two weeks, 5% of the votes had not been counted.  5% is more than enough to swing the tally one way or the other.  

Another observation - the disparity between coastal counties voting "yes" and ALL inland counties voting "no" is very telling.

Last I heard from talking heads, not just settled yet (ahead but maybe not safely). and Newsom was pushing the Secretary of State, etc., to "cure" the ballets that had potential concerns (unsigned envelope, etc.)  and hadn't been counted.  Two beach cities have pulled out of the association of cities (Not sure the official name) over its support for the proposition.  Howard Jarvis Association "head?" was on one show the other day and it's far closer than most people predicted/expected and may have been almost a defeat for Newsome as he was tied so closely to it.

The news were reported it had been declared as passed.  The governor and all other government officials are starting to act on it, to spend the money.

My problem is, the margin by which it "passed" is only a small fraction of the number of as-yet uncounted votes.

There is a deep divide between the coastal counties and all inland counties - inland voted overwhelmingly against the Proposition; coastal counties passed it.

If the uncounted ballots are from inland, they will easily result in a "no".

It's just another Newsom California "success" story he can run on and others run against in the future.    Which again sucks for the people it was supposed to help and won't.
