    Pretty good since Democrats like to vote by mail and Republican'ts have been schooled not to. BTW, when it's prohibited to begin ANY counting before election day, it takes time to count millions of ballots accurately ... or would you prefer a sloppy, hasty job?

    Tight margins can delay things, but not this long.

    Mail in votes should be banned. It opens the door for fraud. End of story.

    Any State that want's to do Mail-In should contact the Colorado SecState, she would be only too happy to point them down the right road. Colorado had the most inclusive, safe and secure voting in the U.S., it's mostly mail in! 8)

    Mail-ins have been done since the Civil War. It was never a problem until Trump made it so. The only reason Republicans don't like them is they make more people vote and most people don't support Republicans.

    A little bit of info to help slake your conspiracy.

    https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/2...t-taking-so-long-for-arizona-to-count-ballots
    The early ballots that came in on Election Day itself are known in some places as "late earlies," the counting of which has been known to hold up tabulation.

    Another factor is the ballot verification process.

    So you're normalizing it taking a week to count votes? How did we know that was coming.

    It’s always taken time. You act as if it’s new. It isn’t. Even in Florida counting is not done yet.

    Why Does It Take So Long to Count Mail Ballots in Key States? Blame Legislatures
    Far from being a fraud, a conspiracy, or even an accident, the slow count of mail ballots is a deliberate choice that lawmakers in key battleground states have made
    State law prescribes the timing of the vote-counting process.
    https://www.brennancenter.org/our-w...nt-mail-ballots-key-states-blame-legislatures

    It takes so long because it's the law. Do you want election officials to break their own States laws?

    There’s certainly a reason why Republicans don’t like Mail-ins.

    In North Dakota, all voters can request a no-excuse mail ballot.

    So, what’s the phoooken problem?

    Happens down here all the time. Nothing unusual especially in tight counts.

    Should be no problem of course. I do need to point out that there are just short of 6x more people in Maricopa County than North Dakota, for the short sighted worrying about the delays in counting...

    Just published

    SNIP
    Her lead over Republican Kari Lake now stands at 36,186 votes. An estimated 88% of votes have been counted. Hobbs now has 1,166,494 votes compared to Lake’s 1,130,308.

    If this nutball doesn't win, she's going to blow a fuse.

    Normally, that's just a figure of speech

    You realize Republicans got millions more votes than Democrats this year, right?

    Currently it's a smidge over 5 million more votes than Democrats.

    Lol...no. But if the only way you people can win elections is by disenfranchisement, gerrymandering and voter fraud, I can see why you're upset.
    Now the cons want to raise the voting age to 25 since young adults don't like the snake oil they're selling.
    Being reactionaries, they won't be happy until only white male landowners are permitted to vote.

    Hey... that's ME!!! Ain't getting my vote...

    I bet they still wouldn't be happy with that arrangement, because a lot of their voters are white male landrenters or landsquatters...

    If the voting machine fuses were made in Venezuela Lake can claim that they were designed to switch every 4th vote for her to Hobbs.lol
    She is that desperate and conspiracy whacked.

    Yesterday Lake posted on her Twitter "rest assured" and that she has the brightest and best attorneys watching every ballot that's being counted.
    She put herself between a rock and a hard place if she looses and won't concede.
    Does she blame her brightest and best attorneys of having been incompetent?

    This is the same system that got Trump elected...and is just fine with you when your candidate wins.
