After the debacle that was the 2000 election, Florida really doubled down on their counting rate. Some states get called instantly, too; California was called as soon as the polls closed, but they're only 66% through counting now. New York is currently only at 78% counted, and New Jersey not far behind at 77%.t0mby wrote:I don't understand how some states take so long to count the votes. Why are they still waiting? Surely they all have the same amount of time.
They're all fucking slow, and combine that with the fact that each state is in charge of their own ballot papers and processing, and it's just a mess.
The USA already took our secret ballot (yes, Australia was the first to have one..), they should take our AEC too. We might have issues with our system, but the AEC is light years beyond anything they have over there.
