He wants them hand counted and he wants them totally tabulated by midnight on election day.

He has said this many times, it's not a joke.The upshot is that whomever is ahead at 11:59 will be the winner --- as long as it's him (or someone he's anointed.)

End snip.
With rural red dirt usually reporting results early and first, he can try to cut off the tally at midnight when he is usually ahead, before urban areas have finished.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
