In my utopian world, I'd love for the U.S. to have an official "results day" about five

days after election day where the country would get the results from all the states. Not a word before then. We'd all find out when the states reported, alphabetically, sort of like the way the Democrats handled the nomination from the convention.

Granted, it's not HIGH on my list of wishes, but this process as it is is so stress inducing!
