Thank you for the acknowledgement of how elections are really counted. Why in the world would anyone believe that a county would arbitrarily quit counting votes because of one race out of 20? In our state, there is a process called a “canvass” where the county commissioners meet a week after the election to review and certify the election, by examining that the number of signed poll slips corresponds to the number of votes cast, etc. Every single absentee ballot that was postmarked by election day is entered into the counts. They discuss and vote, for each ballot individually, whether to accept or reject each single “provisional ballot” (i.e. paper ballot given to person which is then challenged for trying to vote but not appearing on precinct’s voter roll). This process takes days even in a small county.
It would be illegal to “decide to quit counting”.
See #39 for your answer. The post you responded to took it out of context and tried to paint the thread as garbage when in fact they lack a detailed understanding.
