The votes (most of them at least) weren’t “missed” these are mail in, absentee, and provisional ballots that for some reason need weeks and weeks to finish counting. Ridiculous. Can’t they at least screw us in a timely manner?
"Early voting" really bit us in the @$$ this election. And "Early voting" (which is NOT the same as absentee voting, you need a legitimate reason you can't be there on election day to Absentee vote) is a relatively new thing, as I recall it didn't exist prior to 2006 or so. In Illinois, most of the "early voting" sites are city halls run by city employees. Joy.
It seems we DID have a "blue wave" in 2018... two weeks AFTER the election!

Nah, that one wasn't close enough to steal. But at this rate, the RATS could probably retroactively elect Harvey Gantt to the U.S. Senate over Jesse Helms...I'm sure there are truckloads of ballots waiting to be counted that they "missed" in 1990!
