@rickyflows @BenRatkaj @RandomSprint Oh also I should mention that the vast majority of Election Day votes *are* counted within an hour or two of closing the polls, it’s the provisional ballot edge cases, late arriving mailed ballots, etc that cause the final count to drag on.
@rickyflows @BenRatkaj @RandomSprint And in some states they don’t let them start opening the mailed ballots till end of the day, so w Covid shift to mailed ballots the workload and time to count all the ballots grew a lot in those states
