Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that's OK)

A "red mirage," or an artificial GOP vote lead, will likely reoccur Tuesday.

As early Election Day results come in on Tuesday, it will likely appear that a Republican candidates vying for any number of the federal or statewide races appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins.

Their leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived "dumps" of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days -- or even weeks -- following Election Day.

This phenomenon was popularized as the "red mirage" or the "blue shift" after the 2020 presidential election, when former President Donald Trump took a deceptive lead in several competitive states on Election Day due to delays in counting of Democrats' mail-in ballots -- their preferred method of voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic -- only to eventually dissipate when the entire reserve of votes was totaled.

The illusion was a principal component of Trump and his allies' false claims that the contest was fraudulent upon his ultimate loss to Joe Biden.

The scamdemic is over, it’s back to the way we voted in 2016 and 2018, with results available the same day.

Cut the corruption already.

Keep lying and misrepresenting what really happened, fraud deniers.

What we need is a Federal constitutional amendment that says ‘all votes in Federal elections must be counted by midnight of that day..”.. or something like...

Yeah. I thought ABC publishing this was pretty brazen. I literally had to look to see if it wasn’t datelined ‘2020.’....

Elections are handled by each state. But I think the federal government should withhold billions of dollars from each state until each state enacts real election reform. Counting by midnight, photo id, quickly auditable system, paper ballots, purple ink, other things too.

You want fed money? Get your state legislature to absolutely, positively guarantee honest elections everywhere across your state.

They have to tell us what they are going to do. It’s in their bylaws or something.

Furthermore, not only do they need to be done at midnight, but all precincts announce simultaneously at midnight

Why?
Because Sunny Hostin ABC says so?
Don't be naive.

Yes.. I understand States are in charge of elections, that’s why it would take a constitutional amendment to resolve this...

A steep hill, but I would certainly support the idea.
