Why can Florida, a state with 3 times the population of Arizona get their elections done by the end of the night?
More electronics.
IMHO no results should be announced until the next week. Take their time, make the count, no “with 14% tabulated” crap. That need to feed the headline beast. That’s what makes so much silliness.
Probably because Florida doesn’t have 90% of the votes arrive by mail and need signature verification.
Maybe you’d be happier if Arizona SKIPPED signatures and verification?
Note EVERY RACE in Arizona is the same way - except most of the races had a big enough margin for victory that the remaining ballots won’t matter.
