Florida starts counting the absentee and mail ins 3 weeks before the election and has a cutoff for receiving mail ins about the same time voting ends.
Is it perfect? No, But they finish up counting the same night.
But if you don’t start counting ballots till election day and allow them to keep rolling in a week after all the other votes have been tabulated, there is the impression a loop hole has been created. A pretty obvious one.
I was wondering about this, that sounds like a better system.
Maybe some like creating doubt so they can continue to accuse their opponents of election denial while engaging in it themselves based on “facts” they make up.
The Dims can’t ever allow improvements to election security, because the huge difference in their vote count pre- and post-reforms would make them uber uncompetitive. Florida has always been a 51-49 state, but went R+20 once basic election securities measures were put in place.
Looks like the only ones shouting election denial are republicans.
No it doesn’t. We just went through 4 years of it based on concocted bullshit. It’s arguably worse because the Republicans are at least up front about it.
It’s amazing the amount of fingers in ears lalalalal Icanthearyou is STILL going on about that.
Here’s a dem denier list:
Here is the video of the objections to the certification of the 2016 presidential election.

Fucking tiltok generation of idiots believe what they wanna believe. I hope they don’t build bridges.
which, as pointed out, repeatedly, including by Republicans in those states, is normal.
Right, the mail in times should end before election day. God forbid we set higher expectations for voters. I sent in my mail in ballot weeks ago.
That may be true, but it has grown to be and be seen as problematic. I’d like something better, something that gets us to a winner election night.
not if it’s close*. overseas ballots have to be postmarked by election day, and received by 10 days after the election. and ballots can be cured until 2nd day after election.
*edit to be clear: it’s never finished the same night - but when it’s not close, the end results are known the same night.
There’s more early voting and mail voting now, so it’s becoming more of an issue.
Yeah, and (overseas) military. They should be recorded and sent electronically. I mean Jesus, use the damn technology. You could video verify in frogging Zoom and only have to worry about Italian guys flipping their willies around every once in a while.
only if overseas, so no and required. 
Republicans would lose their shit even more.
Not every change need be a non starter. Something better should be done. Time to modernize. Not at a federal level. States have to step up and rectify the situation.
So you are saying the ones questioning the voting system now are Democrats? Or the ones calling the elections rigged in 2020 were also Democrats? 
And the meaning goes where?
Does that misogyny include those goons that cannot explain what a woman is?
There’s not even universal weak faith in the process, nevermind strong or absolute faith. 
I’m not sure results not being available election night qualifies as an actual factual basis for questioning an election. It’s a fact, but so are many other facts that aren’t a factual basis for questioning an election. 
I don’t buy that. I think most people who are not political junkies, think the process is fine. I’m OK with it. You cant cut out human error though, and all the video showing this and that that people couldn’t follow last time around cause knees to jerk. I mean, “Will you accept the outcome?” has become a question that was rarely if ever really asked before.
No, I’m talking about the concocted bullshit about Trump starting in 2016 and repeated election denial claims based on it. Catch up
We have a hyyuuuge amount of pushback on electronic systems that could be improved, but are controlled systems in a controlled environment. I can’t imagine a electronic system for overseas voters that would be accepted given that.
