The date is at last upon us: Election Day, the deadline by which all votes must be in, or at least postmarked depending on your state. But Election Day is really the start of a longer process of vote tabulation, the results of which won’t be final in some cases for several days, or even weeks. Why does this matter? Election monitors are warning us that, as Trump did in 2020, Republican extremists intend to leverage the cumbersome nature of vote counting to help spread a false narrative of election fraud, particularly if their candidates stand to lose the longer the vote counting goes on.
Jay, I understand over 44 million have alfeady voted by mail through yesterday; perhaps that number will be over 1/3 of the Total electorate this Midterm.
The cynical optimist in me is looking forward to some close races in which Repugs are ahead and they're demanding that the counting stop, while in other close races where Dems are ahead those Repugs will be screaming their heads off to "count every vote!" Of course, my optimist says that Dems will win all those races while my cynic expects the other side to call for a holy war.
Thank you for the election process in simple terms. You nailed it. Tired of the Republican propaganda. It is so devisive for our election and the public trust.
Tired of the Republican’s whiny, crybaby, loser syndrome. I can’t wait until the MAGA threats and violence go away and the adults are back in politics. I won’t be happy until they shut up and crawl back under their rocks.
In fact, both parties are very wary and a primary reason is the massive increase in mail and early voting which in some of its contexts is much more vulnerable to fraud and mistake. You slant your comments against the Republicans because you frankly are Democrat/ liberal partial, but you should mention the vote security concern of both parties. It is John Fetterman, Democratic candidate fur the Senate in Pennsylvania, who already has filed a lawsuit.
I seems to me that they know they are going to lose. We just need to stay strong throughout the BS lawsuits they will throw at us.
