I assume most counting now is just fraudulent. There is literally 0 excuse to still be counting votes.
I can't believe that we're still not done counting all of the votes from the presidential election last month. Do we count all of these by hand after electronic counting? I'm also surprised how close the vote was, now at about 2.2M, and the gap continues to narrow as time goes on. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/3f770d65d3a764a9c5cb503ae123e62ec7598ad035d836e2a810f3877a745b24/589e1d1af2fd12437a8cb0eea5e8a3b04bf9e4ba6d04ef75bcd643ce5f2e17f1.webp

But the fraud won't change anything, so that makes zero sense. Most importantly, we've seen in the past that this seems to always happen. Final counts always take forever. It's just so surprising that it continues to always happen without improvements. How can we not be better at this?
It changes narratives that she didn't get killed and media didnt lie to everyone that Kamala was the favorite.
But she didn't get killed. It wasn't a landslide. Those narratives were incorrect. Killed in the electoral college, though? Absolutely.
I never heard of counting votes a month later but I could be wrong. Definately need improvements.
I looked into it after I made this note. It always happens. We just forget. States don't certify until mid December, allowing for plenty of time to count.
Wonder if the amount of counties still count at this stage have gotten worse or better over time. But thanks for informing me.
Laws, rules, and regulations have shifted over time, state by state, as it concerns both registration and voting deadlines. This has historically been true of absentee ballots of various kinds. Then there are differences in laws about how votes are tabulated, verified, processed, etc. But the biggest culprit, as i understand it, is the explosion of vote by mail from 2020 onward. As has been pointed out, this is what has likely caused CA to be so slow.
While I absolutely believe that there is both petty and high level fraud in elections, the likeliest reason CA is still counting is VBM and probably poor rules/regulations around the entirety of the voting process. It isn't that they *can't* do better—they are a one party state, it would be easy for them to make sweeping changes to improve the process if they want to—it is that they have no incentives to do so. In fact, they probably have incentives *not* to do so.
there is barely aligned incentives to count the votes up to the point where you know the winner ( the parties, the press, the people want to know who wins), now imagine the resources used to count the votes once its pointless. there prolly like 5 volunteer grandpas scouring a mountain of abstentee ballots sent from overseas.
