It didn't start with Texas. It started with NY.

Actually it started in 2021 with Illinois.

Yeah, sure....

Because you expected FFX County to come out in full force for Trump??

Those numbers make no sense.

I feel like a conspiracy theorist, but it's always the same: Fairfax County gets counted last, and some mysterious mail-in ballots magically make up the difference. suspicious.

Count to 10,000, then count to 600,000. See which one takes longer. Come back and let us know the outcome.

It takes less than a second in both cases. It's called a voting machine.

It takes longer to determine the amount of votes needed to win, check the voter registration rolls to see how many votes have not been cast, then crank out the votes needed to win. This is why Democrats want illegal immigrants flooding into the state so they can be registered to vote. Their votes will be cast for them.

If it takes one second to count all the votes, why aren’t all the reruns available by 7:15?

No one knows. Fairfax County is always slower than everyone else. I assume we have a lot of busybodies at the polls running checklists.

They’re physically running paper ballots through a machine that can process 300 ballots per minute. Obviously they’re using more than one machine to count all of FFX votes, but because paper ballots are used, it’s a manual scanning process that takes far more than a second to tally even 10,000 votes.

There are probably checks on the numbers plus a process to rule out tampering.

How do they open mail-in ballots? By hand? Even if by machine, that still takes time.

Trump said it’s ok.

^ so for the slow folks, the districts with more voting machines to check and more mail-in votes to open take longer.

Plus they maybe have to check the return envelope for signature, etc. Not sure if that’s automated.

I understand it takes time to process the votes. You are the only one who seems confused by it.

Those haven't been counted yet. They haven't even been opened yet.

What are you talking about. The mail in ballots haven't been counted yet. That takes about a week.

Virginia changed the law to process, but not count, mailed ballots ahead of Election Day. I believe they changed in in 2020, but feel free to check.

Processing includes opening, signature verification, etc.

This thread lays bare just how painfully dumb Republicans are.

All of a sudden they're experts on vote counting, even though they haven't done a simple search of the Virginia Department of Elections website.

All of a sudden they're legal experts, even though the Supreme Court has explicitly allowed this method of gerrymandering.

All of a sudden they're whining about fairness, even though their own Republican representatives voted down the Democratic proposals to ban gerrymandering.

All of a sudden they're blaming Democrats for fighting back, even though Republicans hold a trifecta at the federal level and could ban gerrymandering tomorrow if they wanted to. I wonder why they don't want to!

2022 in NY was not a mid-census redraw of lines. that isn't 'starting it"

It will be blocked by the courts based on the fairness language and that va is not 90% lib
