New York Times: “For the second straight presidential election, it is becoming increasingly likely that there will be no clear and immediate winner on election night and that early returns could give a false impression of who will ultimately prevail.”
“Large swaths of Americans have changed their voting habits in recent years, relying increasingly on mail-in ballots, which take more time to count than those cast in person on Election Day. States with prolonged vote-counting processes, such as Arizona, have become suddenly competitive. And the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump appears extremely close.”
“If a winner is not declared on election night, it will not necessarily point to failures in the process. More likely, it will be a result of the intense security measures required for counting mail-in ballots.”

Are we finished as a country?
How about the hell you say.
If so then we have been done since 2020 and we are a 1-party evolving totalitarian state. A global war should preoccupy us.
“Mail in ballots.”
They’re not even trying to hide the steal are they.
Two things people can do...
Refuse to vote by mail.
Refuse to vote early.
It’ll be far harder to steal a landslide if Deep State doesn’t know how much it has to cheat to make it look like a squeaker.
People are fed up with Democrats... They’re also fed up with the liberal media... So this election will likely be a landslide for Trump.
Translation: Cheating is hard. It takes time. Give us a chance, and we’ll take care of that pesky voting thing.,
“I feel like I am watching a slow-motion train wreck. Is there NO WAY to stop the democrat election-theft? Are we utterly powerless to stop it even when they tell us their plans?
Are we finished as a country?”
Between the RINOs who welcome the cheat, and the media who would risk physical harm to facilitate the cheat, I would say there is no way to stop it. They killed Epstein while the world watched with no consequences, they rightfully think they can do anything they wish.
If they install Harris, and it looks like they will, yes, we are done.
And one other suggestion....
Migrants who vote, whether they did it themselves or Deep State did it for them, should go to the head of the line for deportation.
And yet in Arizona, Republicans showed up on election day and in heavily Republican areas, the machines were “adjusted” so they didn’t work and Republicans would give up and go home instead of voting, Ballots were misprinted so the sizes would jam feeders and Republicans would give up and go home, etc etc. How many votes did Trump lose by in AZ in 2020?
Then there is video of Democrat US postal workers tearing up and throwing away mail in ballots from Republican areas while laughing.
The vote not only needs to be fair, it needs to have the appearance of being fair. Right now half of the country believes that the vote is not fair, regardless of whether this is true or not. End universal mail-in ballots.
And alleviate the national debt…
They have flown in 530,000 migrants and released them into Red counties on a 2.5 year”parole” status. With motor votor registration, that’s 530,000 illegal voters to flip those areas Blue for the Dems.
ICE says it will be almost impossible to locate and deport them after their 2.5 year parole expires.
“intense security measures required for counting mail-in ballots.”
Who the hell do they think they’re fooling here? Seriously?
At least start counting ballots as the come in so that you only have to count Election Day ballots. It’s done this way in Florida with great success. It’s dumb to wait until Election Day to begin opening mail in ballots. And how about a deadline of November 1st? The voters gets the mail in well ahead of Election Day. Heck some are being mailed now! Plenty of time to get it back to the supervisor of election.
Today is national registration day. I hope republicans are out there get voters signed up.
Putting so many flammable paper ballots in a central location is risking a lot. You’d think they would limit the chance of an accident waiting to happen.
I hope republicans are out there get voters signed up.

I’m not are YOU?
They are preparing the ground for fraud. Plain and simple. Doing the propaganda part, so the simpletons will think delays are all normal.
The first time I remember going with my Dad when he voted was 1960, New York had these wonderful mechanical voting machines where you changed the state of a mechanical lever to vote, and opened the curtain with a big red lever which locked your votes and reset the levers. These machines were invented to limit paper ballot cheating, but like paper ballots, they would yield a tally by the early morning hours of the following day, and that was that. Yes, you could recount the ballots or re-tally the machines, but the results existed in physical form in the possession of authorities (i.e., the results were “analog”). In essence, "Election Day" was when everything happened and by Wednesday morning it was over.
What has been happening since 2000 (and maybe before) is the use of media, and technology, to create a condition where nobody knows what the result truly is - nobody knows how many votes were cast, nobody knows which votes count and which ones don't, and the final tally can change for days and even weeks (or until the Democrat wins). Most of the results, and now a lot of the votes themselves, are no longer analog but digital, and exist only as an ordered set of electrons, subject to change in many ways by many people.
This has created a fundamental change in public perception, and you can see it even here on FR. People go on and on about whether or not a winner has been "declared", usually by media people who have no access to the real data. As electronic voting, and now even apps meant to run on handhelds, define reality, we may be approaching or already be at the point where most people are accepting of the proposition that "nobody knows who won, we have to rerun the program, we have to call in the experts, it was Russian bots, it was Craig Livingstone, etc., etc.).
This problem is of course compounded by early voting, absentee voting, overseas voting, etc.
On election night in 1932, everybody knew that FDR had won a big victory - that in a country with no electronic media, no computers, and half paralyzed by depression. On election night in 1952, there were more votes for Eisenhower than Stevenson, and everybody knew THAT.
Eight years ago (a century in digital years), Hugh Hewitt wrote a book called, “If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat”. As long as people believe that only digital wizards can actually determine the result, that may no longer be true.
If we could conduct and tally elections in 1932 and 1952, we should be able to do it now - except that would upset our masters, who have worked so hard to create the status quo. They certainly won't give it up without a fight.
