I’m not sure I can really take seriously ANY election in which it takes 2 days to count the votes.
We live in an age where numbers can be counted instantaneously. What is the DEAL with these elections? Stop with the handwritten votes. Utilize a simple computer program of SOME KIND to obtain and tally the votes.
There is no end to the chicanery that can take place with paper ballots and 2 days to count them.
But you can check back on those paper ballots (they can be, and usually are, stored indefinitely), so the chicanery can be found out — by ordinary people, at that.
Whereas, in a computer program, the chicanery can be hidden from everybody, especially non-initiates.
