Slow Ballot Counting

[Where's Bruce?]

Do you suspect election fraud in states like NV & AZ where they can't (won't?) count the votes on time like other states?

Seems impossible with all the technology that election results can't be available shortly after polls close.

Heck, even in CO there are small counties that can't seem to get all the votes counted by the end of election day. That's pretty normal apparently, but it only shows up as a problem when the races are very tight. Perception is everything though.......kind of like elections of the past where people went to bed in the middle of the night seeing one candidate with a 300k statewide vote lead, then wake up to see the other candidate in the lead with the first candidate's vote count the same. Hmmmmm. That does raise a lot of eyebrows.

Gotta make sure the numbers are right before you count “all” of the ballots.

Who knows...the 2 party system is joke both sides are mostly crooks I don't trust any of them.

Go back at look at the laws they passed after Perot split the vote...they made virtually impossible for 3rd party candidates to win.

Look who is in charge of running the election in AZ, should tell you everything you need to know

I'm more concerned with the fact that less than half of the voting eligible folks aren't voting at all.

Flag on the play for sure.
This is the "Threat to Democracy" the left keeps harping on.
Sure makes it look like they are looking
at how many ballots they need to come up with
and where/how to get them there.
Just buying time.
And why did the current, Dem.Gov of AZ not recuse
herself from overseeing the election?
Course I'm one of those cooky, tinfoil hat election
deniers what do I know?
Everything's fine nothing to see here, move along.

 

[*zap*]

eh, they will let us know when the 'right' candidates have enough votes.....accept it or you will be labeled an 'election denier'....

There's plenty of those on the left too. Just look back to all of them that said that Trump's win in 2016 was illegitimate. Election deniers everywhere. But apparently that doesn't matter when they're the ones denying.....SMH.

while the 2 parties bicker about votes the 1% is rolling in the dough No matter who wins.

 

[Roosterstraw]

I’m honestly about done with voting. The vast majority of them are frauds and corrupt. I’m a Republican and if we win the house & senate….we get Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy lol. I’d rather have two 5 year olds in control. I will give trump one more chance to “drain the swamp” but after that I’m done. The swamp is too deep I’m afraid.

 

[Goatboy22]

All is well. I doubled up on my tinfoil layers and Boebert has taken the lead!

 

[Flyjunky]

There was a good piece I saw on this last night. Out of the last 3 election cycles they looked at the 13 most publicized races in which there were long delays in the counting. Out of those 10 went to the democrats, some taking 3 weeks to complete because votes kept “trickling” in. How do votes take 3 weeks to trickle in?? Mind you, this isn’t some right wing journalist saying this, it was reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. Some of these races were even called for the republican on election night by the likes of the AP and later had to be retracted.

 

[FLATHEAD]

I saw that same report.

 

[CorbLand]

I am impressed. This has lasted longer than I thought it would, both the thread and vote counting.

 

[JohnnyB]

It would be nice to see the process standardized across all 50 states. some jurisdictions stop receiving ballots on Election Day, others accept post marked ballots up to a week after. Some people voted over a month ago. Ridiculous.

 

[Where's Bruce?]

Weird how this generally seems to be a problem in blue cities and states. California is gonna count ballots that are still in the mailstream today. How is that okay?

 

[Ten Bears]

Shame on Republicans for not passing legislation when they had power to prevent this. Lazy and spineless.

Name ONE good reason it should take a month to count votes in 2022 ?

 

[ManyBullets]

Notice Florida doesn't have these issues any more? They just had a hurricane and can get theirs done. 3rd most populous state give or take and they can have it wrapped up quick. Hmmm...
