You are resoning right along the libes the founders reasoned this out. Think about it, there was no TV, no wire service, no airplanes or huge trucks, no computers ... all the means by which votes can be amassed and counted IN ONE OR TWO DAYS. When the founders voted ON ONE DAY ONLY, the counting took long enough that they made a provision for the assigning of the electoral college make up, but they did not have voting spread out over weeks and even a week or more AFTER the vote day deadline. The demon rats want the process strung out so they can have time to assess how many manufactured ballots they need to win a race. Leftafornia is a prime example of the cheating treachery.
It sounds almost impossible.
Even morse code wasn’t invented until the 1830s
I thought it was much later than that. I looked it up :)
But it seems that each state picked its own voting day and in 1800 voting took place over 6 months.
I assume though that the day chosen for each state was the only day folks could vote..
My God!!
And we get impatient not hearing that night! :)
