Missing the point entirely.

Elections aren’t the same as a goddamned lottery. There are absentee/mail ins that have to be counted. There are differences in how the ballots are designed from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

With Powerball/Megamillions, they might be able to tell you if a winning ticket was sold within a few hours, but not where. That’s because they all have consistent datasets that are fed into a central computer.

With elections, you have ballots that have to be counted, which is the initial count that starts election night. Then there are the absentees.

And if the numbers are close, you get recounts - automatic machine or hand, depending on the margins.
