  > Are you kidding? No? > We just had an election amid a pandemic where electronic voting could have literally saved lives. The electronic voting machines the OP is talking about are still in-person. It doesn't make any difference to the risk in the pandemic. > Then we have a president who refuses to concede That's nothing to do with paper/electronic voting, is it? > states that are still counting and recounting votes Well why do they take so long? Why can it be done in hours in other countries but not in the US? > people don't expect a final tally until December I think a single person could count all the ballots in that time. What are they possibly doing?

  > people don't expect a final tally until December. It's always been this way, even before the pandemic. States have 30 days to certify their results. It always been this way. Many trump supporters believe that results will magically change in December. The reason it took longer this time is because: 1. Majority of people voted by mail 2. Many states were not allowed to count as the votes were arriving 3. Many states weren't even allowed to check signature and remove voted from envelopes in advance 4. Dismantling sorting machines in USPS before election causing delays (it took 10 days for my friend's ballot to be delivered within the same county) because of that many states extended wait time for incoming ballots.
