Ass Press at it again.

Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, states were expanding the use of mail ballots and early in-person voting to reduce lines on Election Day and provide more flexibility to voters.

Not to voters. To those who want to "fortify" elections. They need the flexibility.

I’m puzzled as to why, decades ago , with many places using paper ballots rather than voting machines, voting results were known that night or the next morning.

I would love to know an answer to that question. Why has the increased use of Technology slowed down the reporting of election results?

Votes are like raw chicken sitting out. After a couple hours they’re toxic.

Quote from the article: “Not knowing the winner on election night says nothing about the fairness of an election or the accuracy of results.”

It says everything about it, and this time in particular. I have not seen many elections in my lifetime where the issues and public sentiment were so aligned against one party. The AP knows it and knows that the cheat, where they can cheat, is going to have to be spectacularly bad for the dems to win some of these races.

Take PA as an example. Who, after having watched Fetterman (not even counting the debate) is going to buy it when he wins one, two, three or more days later? NOBODY. So the AP is doing their best to start pounding the propaganda now. You aren’t allowed to think Fetterman didn’t win!!!

But it won’t matter. In Arizona with Maricopa, In Michigan with Detroit, In New Hampshire with Mass voters crossing the border to vote twice, In Wisconsin with Milwaukee. In all these states the cheat is going to be evident and horrid and will be a bad tipping point. And it scares the AP that despite their narrative about “election denial” they won’t be able to control the new perception of reality.

Once this becomes part of the belief of the public, then we are on dangerous dangerous ground. If peaceful elections no longer matter, what is left to a dissatisfied public? We all know the answer. And all the AP’s propaganda and all their little reporters won’t reverse that monster once it gets out of the cage.

Next up....

And article explaining why it’s perfectly normal for the vote counting to take 1 or 2 weeks. Maybe even 3 weeks. Perhaps a month.

One month before the election (seemingly), a week after,
and now counting that may go on as long.

Eh, it’s not like they’re going to cheat or anything. /s

It’s better than okay! This way it’ll make sure that the necessary amount of votes come in.

The extra time is needed in precincts where the Democrat is short of enough votes to prevail. There has to be sufficient new votes added and/or votes added or switched to correct the error.

Conservative districts should hold not report their results until the large dem districts report theirs.

Funny. We used to know by the next morning if not sooner. Now, with all our advanced technology, we might know in a few days. Awesome.
