If you were just looking at a piece of paper and adding a number to a page, sure. But for each batch, they have to open the envelope, open a second enclosure, verify the date, verify the signature, flatten and send over to the vote counters in another building. Those people run it through the machine. The machine then spits out any votes that have any irregularity, which then need to be individually reviewed by the administrative panel of democrats, republicans and independents to make a call about what the voter's intent was. Until all of those review ballots have been ruled on, the entire batch has to wait.

It's not a very fast process. There are a lot more steps to verify the validity of mail in votes than there are for in-person votes, which is one reason that the Trump campaign complaints are so silly.

I still have my Pappy 20 though. That was only getting busted out if Biden got a landslide.

Haha Georgia.

Unfortunately, there's no realistic way Biden doesn't get a recount call struck against him since his margin of victory will be under .5% (~25,000 votes)

Does it count if he takes GA, PA, NV, and AZ?

I have not been able to travel for work since Covid and I miss it. Got down to TN and KY every two months or so to visit distillery customers.

I am okay with a recount. The chance that alters things is slim. As long as Biden has a lead.

Georgia down to 1900. Almost tied.

[Manhattanboy]

Has Wisconsin been called? I think there will be a recount but the margin is too large for Biden to worry.

That sounds like a very good job.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

PA now down to 42k.

.

I imagine fatigue is setting in as well.

I would love to see what it looks like behind the scenes as well. Some of these observers must be getting tense and irritable.

Well, if the border opens and you get to do that again, if you let me use your liquor allowance to buy some stuff I can't get here I'll give you a part of each bottle as a transportation fee...

Georgia lead down to 1902, according to CNN.

Wisconsin was called yesterday. It is within recount range, but historically recounts have only flipped at most a few hundred ballots. Biden's margin of victory is over 30,000. It'll be fine barring any Trump shenanigans with rejecting ballots.

and Trump has to pay for it!

Jesus even Cruz is promoting the conspiracy that there is massive corruption in the count in Philadelphia.

It is the best the US has to expect right now, since the DNC completely screwed up the entire election otherwise.

GOP has:
Supreme Court Majority
Gained 10-15 seats in the House, maybe more
Senate Majority

That despite Trump being a terrible President, though his approval ratings are much better than most other outgoing Presidents.

If anyone looks at this election as anything other than a massive DNC failure, they are wrong. Biden winning is the only way to salvage what is left.

Hard to argue, but on the other hand Biden won the most votes ever and the highest % of eligible voters in decades - hard not to look at that in isolation as an achievement. But give credit to Trump and the GOP for also massively increasing their vote including in key demographics. As much as the Dems almost lost the GOP almost won.

If those numbers are accurate, and the performance of Biden in the generic mail-in, he should win GA by 2,400 votes. That is exciting, but I have to see it happen.

What do you expect from the real-life Reek?

[Manhattanboy]

Now Cruz is extending his corruption rant to Detroit and Las Vegas. Arguing that Dem cities cannot properly count votes.
