In a new analysis of how well states administer elections, California ranks 49th, just above Mississippi. The study, by the Pew Charitable Trusts, found that California falls short in many areas, including the lack of online tools to help people find their polling place and a very high number of people who vote with provisional ballots -- that's what polling place workers use when they aren't sure someone is actually eligible to vote. We talk with David Becker, author of the Pew election study.
