The silliness about “elections must be decided on Election Day” is, and has always been nonsense. 

I honestly think that tUSA having a far less efficient system than Indonesia is embarassing and this is not "silly". The way we handle elections and the vote count is a big indicator, at least to me, of just how inefficient our governments are, on all levels.

We need to be better, but it seems too many people are such as you. You accept mediocrity.

I would bet this is going on in other states but the victories or vote differences made it clear who won. But, they are likely still trying to "cure" the mail ins. But if the vote difference is 200,000 and and the mail in number is 25,000, the outcome is obvious.

You are correct. This happens in most elections but the vote gap is larger than the outstanding votes so the winner is determined and only the minutia is left. So nobody cares that the official tally takes a while to be certified because the winner is clear.

This is correct. ^^^. The final count always takes several days to a week or more.

Yeah bro, we don't like it ... but it's Mississippi and Alaska. Are you implying that the votes are being extended to unethically/criminally find more votes for the conservative candidates? Because recent history indicates it would be the opposite. Recent history indicates all these states that take forever to count are because they are counting votes that are all democrat votes.

So, of course we don't like it... but what can we do about it? It's obvious to a lot of us, nothing significant will ever be done to fix election integrity.

Which is WHY it's taking so long to count votes. Recent history tells us it's taking that long because the votes being "found" and counted will 100% be Democrat votes.

The reality you don’t want to believe is that in many cases delays are the result of procedures to ensure the integrity of elections.


Oh sure... sure... Yup. And all the votes that come in late are for Democrats. Weird.

You can always volunteer to work at the polls and see how the vote is counted.

No, I'm not implying anything. Unlike right wingers who ALWAYS imply (without ever having any actual proof) that delays in certifying a final count is evidence of fraud, if their preferred candidate loses.

That is really the point.

Am I opposed to waiting until the count is finished? No, of course not.
