Election Official: I literally just spent the first five minutes talking to you and giving you exact figures of what ballots were remaining and what categories they fall into J2: Why is it taking so long? EO:I just explained that quite extensively in answer to the previous question which was exactly the same as yours, I'm not going to repeat myself. J3: Can you comment on these figures... Starts reeling off figures EO: Those are someone elses figures not the ones I gave you. I suggest you go ask whoever gave them to you. My figures are accurate Nevada is a Ballots postmarked by State so they can still arrive until the middle of next week. There are a number of ballots who haven't correctly provided their ID when voting, they have until tomorrow to do so In all fairness it's no different to most interviews most UK journalists do with politicians. Just keep asking the same question over and over trying to get them to say something controversial. Pisses me off no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada isn't getting called until next week at the earliest due to their processes That's not really his decision to make is it? States don't "call" themselves, the media does. So if the media feel that corrected and late-arriving ballots are not going to be enough to overturn a lead then they will call it. Loads of states allow ballots that arrive until November 10th to be counted, but they were called long ago (including hypothetically in-play states) because they don't think they will change the outcome.

Sorry, I wasn't claiming the election official was saying that, it was my take on the information he provided. Should have made that clearer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you've finished counting, you announce the final result. The media should have no idea until then (aside from exit polls). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted November 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2020 I was gobsmacked to realise that Trump is just the most recent incarnation of despicable bully boy tactics from Republicans to circumvent Democracy. I just read up about the Brooks Brothers Riots from 2000. Absolutely shocking. The USA really needs to change the law and start having some very serious penalties for any attempt to frustrate the Democratic process. It's meant to be a beacon of shining light in terms of democracy but the more you delve into it the more is seems like a cesspit of cheating more akin to some dodgy third world dictatorship putting on a sham of an election. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you've finished counting, you announce the final result. The media should have no idea until then (aside from exit polls). I would guess that it's mainly scale. Our largest constituency by people is about 110,000 and by area about 4,500 sq. miles. When you're dealing with "constituencies" of 40m people or 500,000 sq. miles then you are coming into logistical difficulties to do things quickly. If voting and counting were all done over a period of two weeks and they were counted as you went then they probably could. But that probably throws up its own problems in terms of secrecy and leaks. And I guess you make the decision that doing things properly (I know, I know...) is more important than doing things quickly. For historical context, that's exactly what they used to do. Voting went on for months, and the gap between the November election and the inauguration the following year only exists because historically the admin took so long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted November 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2020 Trumpite suckers have so far crowdfunded Donny's litigation fund to the tune of $8 million. I suspect that this may actually be earmarked for his upcoming defence against criminal charges. Or just go into his pocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
