Why should we let votes overturn an election? Because that is what an election is?

[martin]

why do the demmycrats want people to be able to vote after the election is over.......do they not understand the concept of "over".........wait, I take back the question.......they still haven't figured out that the election of 2016 is over......

You asked a small minded nitpicker's question. But to answer it the resources are not sufficient. There are insufficient polling places in large voting districts. Do you stand in line 8 to 12 hours to vote? No, huh. The number of drop off boxes is generally insufficient. The capacity of the postal service to deal with the avalanche of mail in ballots is proving to be insufficient. The election offices in many towns and cities are insufficiently staffed to count the ballots as they arrive and in some states the ballots aren't counted at all until election day. The system is swamped. It leaves us with two competing values. Do we value efficiency like bean counters or do we value the expressed will of the electorate? If we follow the examples of past elections dating back to the beginning of the country we will make the choice Americans will accept, but not if we don't.

It doesn't matter. There is no legal requirement to have votes counted by midnight of election day. In the past, counting the votes took weeks. This is why the Founding Fathers made Inauguration Day months after election day.

In the past, inauguration day was March 4. Do you know why it was moved to January 20? A hint is it's the same reason why votes can be counted on election day not two weeks later.

Always an excuse.

Individuals don't sit at tables counting votes. This isn't a 200 population town where members of town council are being chosen.

Walt is a nut....LOL

He's a Waltnut!

[dukkha]

the states make the regs. WTF kind of trash is this now? no cites on OP -just Salty rambling

[Iolo/Penderyn]

Do you feel that the country hasn't been given sufficient time and resources to vote in a timely manner? What's with the "trickle in" votes ? But hey.... Let's give everyone until Christmas to get them in...and offer those who've already cast a ballot the opportunity for a redo...many are coming to their senses.....

If the authorities are too dishonest or too incompetent to count the legal votes on time, they should be sacked and the votes recounted by those who can.

Voters have had More than ample time to caste votes by mail....the will of the people has been completely respected....
There's no need or excuse to mail in a vote on election day...

How about 2-3 days prior to Election Day. Shouldn't those votes be counted?

A succinct and 100% accurate critique.

Translation: Unless the count produces a result I agree with they should recount until it does.

We value the expressed decisions of the Supreme Court, Marty.

That should be simple enough for even you to understand.

Oh, that court is now 6-3.

Since you can't vote in our elections, take a hike, America hating cabron.

Clean the goat mierda from your filthy streets.

Yeah, when you don't have an answer avoid the question and attack the questioner.

Marty always disappears when inconvenient questions are asked.
