re: #78 dangerman

i also dont see how any artificial deadline, even a state law, can have any merit

it takes as long as it takes
machinery problems or not
what if the voter volume was up another 20%
or a higher percentage of mail ins that required signature verification
or someone decided to be….really….careful…..and….really…..slow…….
it takes what it takes

and we’re only talking about post election day counting
not even the election day shenanigans of not enough voting booths, etc. which disfranchise people in other ways.

these deadlines are dumb

you make it to the polling place and are registered, you get to vote
all legitimate ballots get vetted and counted

how hard is that?
(yes i know, i know)

We learned in 2000 that arbitrary deadlines made up for the occasion are sacred and supersede every other consideration.
