Like many of us, I want free, fair elections where every American gets to cast a ballot and have it counted. I want every American to have faith that the electoral process works, and that it accurately reflects the cumulative will of the voters.
The election was over on Tuesday, and this morning, Friday, we still don't know who won in three key races. Arizona and Nevada have not finished counting the votes. We may not know the final tally until next week. This reflects utter failure on the part of the vote-counters in both Arizona and Nevada, and does not engender confidence in the process. It should not take more than 24 hours to count the vote, and many places do it a whole lot faster.
When this debacle is over, and the votes are finally counted, the election officials in Arizona and Nevada need to scrap whatever process they are using, and go to Florida, or Texas, or even New York, and learn how tose sttes conduct and election. Because, plainly, what they are doing now does not work.
Actually the people behind it are accomplishing exactly what they want.
ReplyDeleteOr they're trying to figure out 'exactly' how many votes they need to 'find' for their dems to win...
ReplyDeleteAh, but the more time before publicly declaring the numbers, the more time to play games behind the scenes. I don't think we will ever see fair and honest elections ever again.
