(7,429 posts)Late counting has been going on for over a decade. So have mail-in ballots. Trumpy-Boy's "demand" is empty. Good night, Donnie.

(10,129 posts)even the provisional ones cast on election day, the ones delayed by the post office, and the damaged ones*. The first and last have to be done mostly by hand. And with millions of voters and lengthy ballots this takes time.
*There's a process for dealing with damaged ballots and others that can't be read by machine. Counties have panels with reps from the major parties who watch as the ballot items are copied to a clean ballot, then certify that the copying was done correctly. All done openly and above board. I wonder if this is one reason why the GOP does so badly here.

Prepare to hunker down for awhile.

Roberts already said that courts don't make election law; states do.

(3,818 posts)arrive. Wasn't this decided via court decisions decades ago - waiting for those votes to arrive. They may not be counted, unless too close, so then they opened up overseas ballots (??). Didn't one race come down to 1 military vote to arrive and made the difference in the race?
We all need to flood State Bar Assoc to police their lawyers to stop these lawsuits day-after-day and actually disbar, sanction them, or something. These endless lawsuits have got to stop.

(8,755 posts)voters expect trump to win, which is a greater % than Democrats that expect Biden to win (according to same useless poll).

(10,892 posts)ballots counted by then, and I'm talking about the ones received before Nov 3. Obviously ones received after Nov 3 won't be counted by then.
Wisconsin has a long-standing law that the elections people can't begin counting votes until election day -- I don't mean tabulating results or partial results, I mean even processing ballots (taking them out of their envelopes and running them through tabulators)

I look forward to them not calling states like MO, KS, and AR until late on the 4th.
Get out and vote. Encourage people to vote. Get people to the polls.
If we do that, we win this thing and America is America again.

(2,338 posts)It is not entirely clear that shutting down the count on Election Day would be to the GOP's advantage. Guy Cecil of Priorities USA PAC said Tuesday that based on battleground survey data nearly half of lean Biden voters already voted. He said Democrats have a better response rate for returning ballots they have requested meaning there are still many GOP ballots Trump has yet to bank.
Hoist by his own petard!
