 Does anyone find it ironic that when we had only paper ballots, we usually got the results by the next day?  Now that we have electronic voting, that should make the results available the moment the election is over, it now takes weeks to get results.  It makes zero sense unless there is funny business going on for weeks to get the results desired.

It also seems insane that most states seem to have voting for a month or more.  Of course going to a high percentage of mail-in votes makes it so easy to commit fraud if a person has no morals or believes their ends justifies the means.

At this point, I have doubts that Trump winning by more than 10% will lead to him becoming president.  None of the problems from 4 years ago has been fixed and they've come up with new means of fraud.  When those in charge of the election and law enforcement are in on the fraud, there is no recourse available to those who have been disenfranchised by illegal votes and outright fraud.
