I tell this story constantly
My mom was a local GOP Party canvasser and poll-watcher in NY State, from her young adult years in 1940s up to the late 1980s
At the time NY used paper ballots, and had those large analogue machines with the lever for closing the curtain and priming the machine. Mail-in ballots had to be obtained long before election day (I believe it was 2 weeks min, but don’t recall exactly). There were recounts in some close races, but those were very few and were settled quickly.
Polls closed at 9 PM, and she would be home by 10:30 PM, where we would watch West Coast results on TV. All State results were announced that evening, usually by 11 PM
The fact that many states can not give a result within even DAYS is slap in the face to Americans and a SHAME on government. Its a sure sign of fraud and corruption
And now NYC has RCV, and the state uses RCV-enabled electronic voting machines.
So if NYS is so reliably blue, why does Deep State have to steal our elections...? 🤔
“Polls closed at 9 PM, and she would be home by 10:30 PM, where we would watch West Coast results on TV. All State results were announced that evening, usually by 11 PM”
I remember those times well. Suddenly though, and it seems it started to happen around 2008, many states couldn’t produce their vote totals until the following day. Eventually, the wait time increased to a few days, and now it is more than a week and occasionally a month or so. The media never questions the delay.
“”NY used paper ballots, and had those large analogue machines with the lever for closing the curtain and priming the machine””
We were told about those in school but I have never in 70 years voted with a lever machine...started voting in NY State and then moved to CA and never did see those machines. I remember the large paper ballots marked with some sort of stamp, then the ballots that created “hanging chads”....
