Michigan Georgia Pennsylvania Arizona says no vote totals on election night.

How is it possible to know already?

This makes no sense when other states with more and or similar populations get it done on time and correct

Since when are 25% of Georgia’s voters located overseas?!

What the hell is that BS?!

Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger:

“75% of all the vote totals will be reported no later than 8pm on election night…What we will be waiting for is the overseas ballots that come in no later than Friday”

Seems strange. Like if I was playing Devils Advocate, I’d say something stupid like “but state’s rights….”

But this is a federal election.

So is this commonplace? And if not aren’t voting machines supposed to streamline this process?

Simulations based on predictive algorithms?

It would be stupid all right we have had states running Federal elections for a little while and no public issues,

Not going to mention every one of those states has Dominion or electronic voting wasn't that supposed to make it easier?

We didn't have algorithms in 2020? #1 and #2 we are getting huge early voting and mail ins.

While I know each state counts the votes differently and starts counting at different times, all of this has been known for 24 months minimum, and now 15 days before the run the algorithms.

Algorithms showing an unexpected and huge margin of victory this election?

Yeah but doesn't a larger margin usually mean it's easier to call an election?

The Constitution gives the States (technically, the States' legislatures) the authority and responsibility for selecting the slates of electors for POTUS/VPOTUS in the Electoral College according to the laws that the states individually enact. Among other things, that means that the states don't all have to have the same electoral processes, but once those processes are enacted into laws, each state has to abide by the laws they enacted. For example there is no Constitutional requirement that the individual states have to use a popular vote for determining their slates of electors, but over time, all states have individually decided to use that method, so that has become the de facto norm.

Congress can make laws regulating the conduct of the election, but cannot overturn any provision of the Constitution that pertains to elections without passing a Constitutional amendment.

The Executive branch has zero Constitutional role in conducting the POTUS/VPOTUS election. And if you were to think about it for a minute or so, you would probably realize that that is because IF a sitting POTUS were allowed to diddle with the election process, he or she could use the power of the Presidency to pretty much guarantee himself/herself being POTUS for life. Like in Russia, for example. That's essentially what Trump attempted in 2020. The Founding Fathers were smart enough to figure this out and wrote the Constitution in such a way as to discourage it.

Voting machines do, generally, count ballots faster and more accurately than humans. However, many states have laws that prohibit starting to count mail-in ballots until after the polls close on Election Day. My hunch is that that is to prevent the results of early mail-in voting from affecting the voting on Election Day. If they counted the mail-in ballots as soon as they arrived and made the results public (which they could easily do) and it turned out that one candidate was significantly ahead of the other, that could depress voter turnout on Election Day because people might think that the results were already predetermined and that it wasn't worth showing up to vote. That's why the results don't all come in on election night.

In some cases, however, one candidate is more popular than the other by a large enough margin that it becomes mathematically impossible for the other candidate to win, even if all the mail-in ballots went the other way. In those cases, the results can be known on Election Day even if all the ballots haven't been counted yet.

Yeah, and harder to cheat, but not necessarily impossible, especially with the extra time of added days.

Statistics that will be interesting include:
1. Ballots to registered voters (voter turnout)
2. Adjudication rates
3. Election night results compared to post election night results.

Florida will probably have totals complied with by 7PM est.

There is no excuse, and they will do everything to obscure the process then demand we shut up and take it like they did in 2020.

People accepted the delays in 2020, when FL screwed up in 2000 nobody accepted that and the state fixed it.

stop rolling over and go oh jeez well its hard ok.

They don't have covid as an excuse this time either.

a reply to: IndieA

Yup, but they will still bring up everything under the sun, while trying to ignore their own laws and state constituions.

It is disgusting but I guess this is what "democracy" looks like in the progressive utopia.

The Executive branch has zero Constitutional role in conducting the POTUS/VPOTUS election.

The Federal Executive Branch serves to protect U.S. elections and voters, systems, officials, and workers in various ways. Many of its responsibilities are longstanding, while some are more inspired by the recent threats of foreign election influence and interference.

1. Assist states in protecting the security of our
voting systems and related infrastructure;
2. Protect the right to vote;
3. Address unlawful threats of
violence and physical harm against
election officials and workers;
4. Identify and counter foreign malign influence
activities directed at U.S. elections;
5. Combat election fraud and campaign
finance violations; and
6. Provide access to relevant information
relating to the elections.

Here’s a much needed fact sheet for you…

Nobody is going to 'take it' this time; not the Republicans and not the Democrats.

Thankfully they changed the law so they can use deadly force on the protesting citizens...but only if Kamal wins. /S

Does this mean that these states were just phoning in all these decades; and really don't know how to handle a federal election. Now that things are close they can't cope?
