Am I Understanding this right

that we are dragging this counting out for another day or more?
Seems the more time it takes to get a vote total, the more time it gives trump to screw with things

No, the fact is to count all legally submitted ballots takes more than a few hours. No dragging. sinkingfeeling Nov 2020 #3

Some states don't even start counting mail-in ballots until election day.

It takes a while to count millions of votes.

with counting votes (whatever the time frame)
