You clearly don't realize the enormity of votes that need to be counted.
And even vote counters and officials need to sleep.
have ever seen were settled on election day. Not this one!
Before election day, 2/3s of the people already voted.
What legit excuse could they possibly have?
Delaying tactics to stuff the box.

States like Michigan and Pennsylvania weren't allowed by State law to process absentee ballots, never mind count them, until Monday and Tuesday respectively. So, of course, there's going to be delays. I think counting is going pretty well and it's very likely that a Biden win will be confirmed by tomorrow.
Most States don't require their results to be certified until late November. https://ballotpedia.org/Election_results_certification_dates,_2020
The Electors don't meet until December 19th (https://www.archives.gov/files/electoral-college/state-officials-instructions.pdf).
The most important thing to do is to count all legal votes and State and Federal law allows plenty of time to do that right.
@no1marauder saidone and two days...? Hell, that's a better jump on it than any other election.

@Cheesemaster
WOW, Trump wins with 214 electoral votes? So which rock did you crawl out of again?
You need to crawl back into your shell and hibernate for a few decades.
@dood111 saidIt has to be connceted withz counting ballots. Please infrom yourself about the procedure. Alsaka which most probably will be overwhelmingly Republican still has not counted all votes, you just don't see that.
Yeah it's been the same since 9 last night.......what I find interesting is the swing states were all red last night with 80%+ of the votes in , this morning they were all blue, what's up with that?
I call shananigans.
@cheesemaster saidPlease try to understand the concept of voting. the count doesn't stop when one contrahend says so.
Well Trump won so they are preparing for riots.
Once the law is ready then they will announce the result
@eladar saidThat branches would be who?
Joe will win. He has both branches of the establishment working for him.

Well the Trump era is OVER, and YOU need to get over it and actually try to deal sincerely with democrats.
We ALL need to rethink this divisiveness that Trump has caused.
AND get back to the feds really leading the charge against Covid which up to now has been TOTALLY ignored and downplayed EVERY DAY by Trump.
The day of reckoning for Trump has come. He and his family are TOAST now and KING TRUMP is going to be in a WORLD of hurt when the charges start flying against him and no SCOTUS buddies to keep him out of prison.
We will finally see ALL his taxes and find out exactly what frauds he has perpetrated for decades.

@mott-the-hoople saidThere is absolutely nothing in the Constitution or any federal law that mandates a winner of the election be declared on Election Day. In fact, for much of the 19th century, it took days – if not weeks – for the winner to be declared.
this election has been frozen...there has bee plenty of time to get votes counted
Even in recent elections, declaring a winner usually extends beyond election night – as the state-by-state counting of votes can often drag for hours or days, even without a pandemic. In 2000, we didn't know who the president would be until December 12 –– more than a month after Election Day.
