The election that won't end...

 

They used to use paper ballots and the entire election was decided by morning.  Now we have computers, and here we are, a month later and it is almost over.

The Georgia runoff is conducted according to that state's law, so no problem there.  I am talking about the dozen or so House elections that suddenly had "recounts" for the "mail-in votes".  Even now, Colorado has one race still outstanding despite Lauren Boebert's opponent conceding all ready.

This just chips away at democracy.  We used to have open elections run professionally and quickly,  Now we get endless litigation, recounts, and phantom ballots like this is Bolivia or some place,  In Arizona, the governor's race, fraught with vote machine malfunctions was overseen by a candidate for that office, a candidate who did not actively campaign or have a single debate.   

Democracies need to reliable and run like clockwork as well as being sane.

We have not seen a lot of that over the last two years.

Time to pull back or we plunge into Weimer style collapse.

If you don't think it can happen here, take a good look around.

Hopefully we pull back in time.
