...maybe the abortion issue scared a lotta women into voting?On the West coast, polls close in 12 minutes.
I am pleased with the results in other parts of the country. Red wave seems to be more of a squirt.

What's your take?
Mail in ballots in most states are counted last, YW.Does anyone else think it's weird that the more early and electronic voting we have the longer it takes them to announce winners? Back when *everything* was done on paper and counted by hand we almost always knew who won within a few hours of the polls closing. Now most ballots are scanned or simply touch screens; tabulated electronically and technically available within minutes of a polling station shutting its doors but it takes them all night or longer to figure out what the fuck is happening?
Something doesn't seem right about that.
If we had more accountability and faster results why not go back to all paper ballots?
I hate that the the extreme left, wants people to be treated by the golden rule!I think extremists on either side of the political divide put voters off.
Early and mail voating is absurd. It should be election day not election month.Does anyone else think it's weird that the more early and electronic voting we have the longer it takes them to announce winners?

Not all early votes are counted ahead of time. Some states don't allow the counting of those ballots until election day.
How far back is that you're talking about?Okay but that still doesn't explain why it takes them longer to count them now.
When the vast majority of votes were same-day paper ballots we didn't have these marathon trickle-in results.
Something's fucked up.
Are you comprehension impaired, that has been asked and answered, most states do not open mail in ballots till Polls close on Election Day. So because of those laws, "Early Voting" is Election Day Voting.Okay but that still doesn't explain why it takes them longer to count them now.

I heard some pundit say, that because of increased suspicion of polls (Whoa!), that Pollsters are having a harder time getting statistically accurate samples, because people don't want to admit to their opinions).Actually, I wonder if the issue is that in the past, the votes weren't so close and they were able to project a winner without counting all votes.
Now, the vote margins are razor thin and it's not safe to "project" winners without more data than in the past.

Are you as stupid as you sound?
That still doesn't answer the question:
Why does it take them so much longer NOW to count fewer paper ballots and a majority of ballots that are available instantly just by querying the machine?
Have we forgotten how to math?
Fuck's sake.
