      Every vote should be counted, however long it takes, but I think it's unaccetable that one of the richest nations in the world cannot reliably call elections on election night in a transparent and accountable manner when pretty much everyone else can. Fixing this is so important!https://twitter.com/PamKeithFL/status/1060885522103590916 …

      Our problem is the rush to call elections on election night! People are anxious & excited. News outlets want to be the first to satisfy the viewers with an answer. But mostly they get close races wrong & deliver a false sense of finality. Big counties take time. #CountEVERYvote

      I know about all the issues but almost all of them are solveable problems. It would create a challenge only for a very small percentage of unusually close races—speedy delivery of mail-in ballots (USPS has the infrastructure for this), optical scan counts, risk-limiting audits...

          Length of time to result adds to drama, loss of trust and (even more) negative politicization of the electoral process and political uncertainty. Most of the obstacles are solveable—only a really really small subset of races should be outstanding next day. https://twitter.com/jennygadget/status/1060901628520198144 …

          Put another way: it's normal for a few races to be outstanding, but this much uncertainty days into post-election is outside global norms. We've let our electoral infrastructure to crumble and/or be politicized and weaponized. Fixing this should be the highest political priority.

          I don’t think you know about all the issues. We currently do not reliably get absentee ballots to voters, much less enable them to return them quickly.

          Dude, don't be in the position of arguing that Professor Tufecki doesn't know what she's talking about. It's a bad look. And her saying "we don't choose solve these problems" (absentee delivery, etc) is different than "you don't know these are problems".

          I agree and personally also wish we would go the early-vote/voter-marked-ballot/risk-limiting-audit path. However, I think "mail in ballots and stop being obsessed with real-time results" is a compelling alternative scheme. What do we actually lose by waiting a week for results?

          In some states mail in ballots can be postmarked on election day. There is no way to count all votes until all votes have arrived.

          It's a common question! Financial systems are based on the idea that both parties can keep exact receipts and connect people to specific transactions. Voting systems *cannot* connect people to votes after the fact or it would allow coercion and vote buying.
