Election night reporting in rural areas
Posted on 9/24/23 at 9:08 pm

So I’ve asked this here before but never got a great answer.
We all assume that the counties with large metros will be the last to report, solely so they know what number to beat right?
Well why don’t rural counties play a game of chicken and wait for them to report first? I’m sure the media will blast them but who cares? They all are subject to the same rules, wait it out and make them move first..
Why aren’t we doing this?

Because republicans are playing the game with democrats giving the illusion that we elect who we want. They take turns.
Would have to happen at the precinct level and organized without Republican Party leadership. The SOS in most states are in on it.

It wouldn't make a difference. The population of all of the rural areas in Louisiana combined pales in comparison to BR, NO, etc. Besides, if the rural areas aren't going to create or copy tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ballots out of thin air, what's the point?

Well Louisiana isn’t a great example but take Pennsylvania for example.. make Philly report first and then let the baws come in last.
If they are going to print an aburd amount of fake ballots then let them guess on the number needed.. why tell them exactly how much?

All rural areas need to hand deliver mail in votes.
Make them count them just like the cities.
They won’t know shite for days will be a cluster F.

There are always small counties that report late as well. Pay attention on election night. There will be lots of places with 95% or 80% reported—rural and urban. The problem is that’s thousands of tens of thousands of votes in cities. Hundreds or dozens in small counties.
Also, I guess someone needs to mention that the whole thread relies on the assumption that places are straight up manufacturing ballots—which is quite a jump.

They are real, harvested mail in votes. In states like PA, they mass mailed all registered voters a ballot.
Register every person in every project and apartment building in Philadelphia, go pay them for their ballot or have them give it to you, have the ballots stored and marked ready to go, find how many you need, then start counting at 3am when you say the vote stopped for the night.
That is exactly what happened in 5 states. Which is why you had near 100% turnout in many precincts which is impossible.
And a recount does nothing because they are real votes, the voter just didn’t cast the vote. Maybe 50% were actually cast by the voter. If that

In Louisiana, You might have 40 precincts in a small parish, 80-100 in a medium parish, and several hundred in a large parish like Orleans and Jefferson. Once voting stops at 8 pm or the last person in line at 8 pm votes, a printout of the vote totals are made and then the cartridge is sent to the nearest parish clerk of Court’s office with a connection to the Louisiana Secretary of State’s proprietary network (some parishes may have multiple offices that can submit the results to speed up the process). From there the votes are added to the state’s database of tallied numbers and then reported to 2 separate systems, its website and a database for the media to process the numbers.
The reason you have such late numbers from parishes like Orleans is that they may have over 1,000 cartridges to upload vote data from and maybe one or two computers to do it on.

It’s not about a difference in votes. It’s about not giving the cities a target to hit.
If they need 50k votes, they’ll find 53k.

But that is not what the OP is talking about.
The assertion is they gauge the number of votes required to make up the shortfall that they see is coming.

How can anyone dispute this? Do they think it was magic the race happened to turn at 3am?

Yes, late night counting once observers are sent home.
Vans with ballots showing up in the middle of the night when precincts have already closed.
Videos of election workers sending the same stacks of ballots through tabulators multiple times.
Election workers "verifying" signatures in milliseconds tens of thousands of times.
Yep, quite a jump...

Because they will arrest and jail conservative rural county officials for election tampering. That's why.
While conservatives were pretending to be conservatives liberals gave up pretending to care about this country and consolidate their power in the judicial and education systems.
Control the education system, control the future.
Control the judicial system, control your opposition.
We still got a long way to go before people are ready to reject socialism.

Better yet, no reporting of results by a state until all precincts have turned in their tallies. Might take a few days but is that any different than what we have now?
