When are Reupublicans going to start holding back the tallies in rural counties and then "finding" more votes once they see the tallies for the states? The dems have been doing it for years and no one has gone to jail. It would be even easier in the hundreds of rural districts in these states because it would be difficult for dems to go and observe all of them.

That is a good point. I am not religious but when these people say good versus evil this reminds me of that being a real thing. The conservatives try to do the right thing the democommies are fucking strait up evil

It's so fucking obvious. If they counted them first then they'd have to stick to their guns and trump could have beaten them.

If they count them last they just keep "counting" until Biden has it.

Once they count the in person ballots, they would have a list of people who have registered but did not vote. They can submit mail in for those.

If they want to wait x after Election Day, then hold the election x after the election day.

At least in Pennsylvania, it all started last year, when state republicans introduced a bill and the democratic governor signed it into law. It's stupid that they can't vote early, but the repubs fought against it and are even suing Montgomery County, alleging that they started counting early. What they actually did was check for errors in the front sheets of the ballots, allowing people to correct them, which is Constitutional.

This is how you cheat.

This is how you destabilize and demoralize.

The official reason is because counting ballots early will result in leaks, and then potentially sway voters. Seems more like a problem with horrible govt workers than anything else.

Because they have a general idea of the total number. If that number is smaller than what the losing candidate needs to win then counting them would be a waste of time.
