(KRON) -- As Alameda County residents wait to see whether their district attorney is recalled, the vote count on the county's website has moved painfully slow. Polls closed in California at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Forty-eight hours later, just 24.78% of registered voters had their ballot counted, the county's website said. The website updated early Wednesday morning and did not budge until 5:45 p.m. Thursday. Even then, only a few thousand more votes were counted. Pamela Price recall effort ahead in initial returns Alameda County District 5 Supervisor Keith Carson released a statement about the slow vote count on Thursday, acknowledging that people are "anxious and frustrated." He also said there is nothing that can be done about it, at this point. "Many have contacted my office to express their dismay/anger regarding the small number of votes that have been counted to date, while all of our surrounding counties are posting a greater number of results. I share your dismay," he said. "While there isn’t anything that can be done immediately to expedite the current process, rest assured that I will continue to push for increased transparency and information immediately shared with the residents of Alameda County, and beyond." Carson said he has attempted to bring "greater transparency" to the county's Election Day process. He said he asked the Registrar if he had sufficient workforce to count the vote, and was told that he did. "Unfortunately, that appears not to be the case," Carson said. County Registrar Tim Dupuis told Oaklandside that the lag is due to counting mail-in ballots, which take time to be verified and counted. The next update to results in Alameda County will happen on Friday, per the county website.
