NYS is slow

[micky]

It turns out NYS
Get ready to wait. While in-person votes (both those cast early and on
Election Day) should be released on election night, the state will not
even begin to count absentee ballots until Nov. 6. And that process can
be time-consuming: Each absentee must be double-checked to ensure that
its voter did not also vote in person. We could be in for a repeat of
the June primary, when it took several weeks to get final results: The
statutory deadline for certifying results is Nov. 28, but the New York
City Board of Elections says it may not be done counting until Dec.
8-15.

Although I don't advocate Internet voting, computers have their place
in the election process.

The treasonous MSM fed leftist garbage to the voters.  Leftist garbage in, leftist garbage out.

Abort, Retry, Ignore?

I am sure the Russian, Iranian, Chinese, Israeli hackers would love to
take a swing at that teed up ball, along with every bored teenager
around the world.

I'm quite sure my township (population 39,000) uses computers.
I haven't voted in person in quite a while, but I recall ledger-size printouts.

Doesn't yours? Or is there a big card file in a building somewhere?

The point being, computers can be used even if they aren't networked
to anything. It'll take a little longer, but not as long as doing everything
manually.

They do use computers but the ballot is still paper. People trust
paper and trust is the most important thing in voting. I was here in
2000-2002, still close enough to the belly of the beast to understand
how little people trust electronic voting. (My SIL was part of the
Broward County voter process in 2002)
Florida spent a hundred million or two on "Votetronic" machines (all
electronic, instant readout networked etc) The next year we threw them
all away and went all Op scan paper by popular demand. They were upset
that a recount just meant you pulled up the total again on the
computer with no other way of verifying it. There were also
demonstrations of miscalibrated machines assigning votes to the wrong
candidate.
As for the hackers, none of the Iranian process computers were online
either but Stuxnet got in. People like a ballot they can look at and
hold in their hand. They are reading at 300 a minute or so from what I
read but there is no hardware reason that couldn't be a whole lot
faster.

I didn't bother watching the circus, but the Montana results were
released in a timely manner. Trump got 57%.

What interested me was the local races. They are often very close and
hard to predict since there are a lot of independent and few die-hard
partisans. One cycle we had a Republican governor and a Democratic
lieutenant governor.

Not this time. In the Senate race the Republican beat the outgoing
Democratic governor by 10 points. The governorship flipped Republican by
12 points and the Republican got our one House seat by 12 points also.
The state auditor went to a Republican by 15, secretary of state by 18%.

This is what should really worry the Democrats:

"Raile says younger voters may have unexpectedly shifted the results.
The MSU poll placed 18- to 29-year-olds squarely on the side of
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. But exit polls conducted by
Edison Research showed that those same voters turned out overwhelmingly
for Republican President Donald Trump.

“It looks like we have some dormant Republicans, where we had young
people who would vote Republican, who haven't shown up in other
elections. And they showed up this time," Raile says."


Apparently they weren't buying the college loan forgiveness scam.

Legalizing marijuana got 57%. That should be interesting with a
Republican governor and legislature.

That's just this state but there seems to be a whole lot of flipping
going on. Even that Republican QAnon won in Georgia.

I think the problem with polling is republicans hang up on pollsters.
We are solid red here and we sent a black republican to the house
yesterday. So much for that stereotype.

Good! You'd have blathered about that extensively too, senile blabbermouth!
