While this delay is small in the grand scheme of things, it's stuff like this that erodes confidence in our voting systems.
Seriously, an excuse about "volume" should never be an excuse for our election systems. These things should be over-engineered. We should be over-prepared, not barely prepared.
And, I watch other States count votes overnight. Why can't we do this?
Part of the issue is that ballots are valid if POSTMARKED by Election Day, not received. They're still receiving ballots, let alone trying to count the backlog. I think they're doing a great job compared to prior years.

Are you kidding?
Will the 5 o'clock news not do whole segments in the journalistic style du jour of simply speculating in question format?
Can they not use this to then promo their next newscast?
Are you not entertained?

@5 this does not show the % of precincts reporting by county so we don't know which counties still have outstanding totals to report.

Yes, I'm an elections geek. ;-p
Armchair bureaucrat is on the case!
didn't goldy tell you that Washington's mail voting is supremely elegantly divine and should be implemented throughout the galaxy?
