It will probably take at least 24 hours before winners in their high-profile races can be projected – and no, that isn’t evidence of fraud.

.....................

At least 11 states with highly competitive races will likely take 24 hours or more to report enough of their vote totals to declare winners. The races in Alaska, Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin include four marquee Senate races and 33 competitive House races.

That means that it’s highly unlikely we’ll know right away which party will control both chambers in Congress. It does not mean that something is amiss with the vote counting ― although Republicans in these 11 states are likely to say otherwise if they lose...............................


There are varied reasons why these states will take longer to report results........................

......................

In states including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Republicans have refused to enact legislation to allow mail ballots to be processed prior to Election Day. And the ranked choice voting systems of Alaska and Maine require all ballots to be received before they can be tallied and voter choices distributed.

But the biggest reason why results may take 24 hours or more to count is that these elections are expected to be close. The closeness of the 2020 presidential election is what made it take four days after Election Day before Joe Biden was declared the winner. And the same has been true in other recent elections for House, Senate and governor.

There is nothing abnormal about this. When elections are close, it is important that all ballots be counted to know who wins.............................

1. Republicans are already claiming that's proof of fraud

People voting is fraud. Counting all the votes is fraud. Dems winning is fraud. If a voter looks like a Dem, it's fraud.

Hoping for a blue wave big enough to drown out this noise

3. Democrats already have cheated! ........

4 trillion lawsuits are ready to be filed, some have already been filed.

7. But their evidence is top secret and won't be shown to anyone!

We're just supposed to take their word for it!

9. John Oliver covered some of their "evidence" on his show

they had video of one person dropping one ballot into a dropbox while other people nearby looked at his dog. That was proof that he was mule brazenly stealing the election for Biden.

10. The good news is, there's no stopping counting for the night.

They will continue to count until every vote is counted without breaks. Obviously a person to go take a break or leave for the day, but the counting will continue. I think that’s gonna make the process faster and make everybody comfortable.

4. Hold the vision of a huge Blue tsunami as if it is already history!

Is it wfong that I keep seeing certain qpukes drowning in our wave?

[Marthe48]

6. If r's think elections are fraud, stop running for office!

If they don't think they are getting a fair shake, well, stay off the ballot. Don't vote, stay out of the government on all levels. Easy.

11. Local talk radio had on a down the middle guest today

I didn’t catch his name but I think he was a professor who now has some sort of not for profit. The host is a seasoned guy - father was in the General Assembly and he worked for both the Reagan’s and on George Allen’s Senate staff - was planting every question and concern that he could about voting. The guest very diplomatically shot each one down. The guest also pointed out that Pennsylvania doesn’t start counting mail ins and absentees until 8 tonight.

The host at least aired everything his audience heard over and over.

The guest did say that he thought the Repubs would take the House. He said the 3 close races here in Virginia could be an early bellwether of what’s to come.

12. Regarding the blue wave...

We GOT that in 2020. And the noise continues.

5. although Republicans in these 11 states are likely to say otherwise if they lose

They already started that nonsense.

8. Bury them in votes..

It's the only way.
