The UK's really fast at counting. Or isn't the result on January 20 more important anyway? Change the norm.

  Population 66 Million vs 333 million spread across 6 time zones(if you include Hawaii and Alaska).

    Man you Americans really suck at math don't you? It's always "but our big population", somehow that's the excuse for everything. Shitty prison system - big population, shitty healthcare system - big population, shitty education - big population, shitty voting system - big population. Meanwhile I've never seen anyone explain why these things can't scale. You have more people so you have more votes but you also have more people to count them. Okay so there's a few different time zones so what? That's an easily solvable problem.

Shitty prison system - big population, shitty healthcare system - big population, shitty education - big population, shitty voting system - big population. What an ignorant take. It would help for you to expand your horizons and realize that other countries have reasons for doing the things they do. The world is not one size fits all. >Meanwhile I've never seen anyone explain why these things can't scale. You have more people so you have more votes but you also have more people to count them.

Don't cite me then, cite an acclaimed election security researcher: https://youtu.be/U-184ssFce4?t=1578 https://youtu.be/U-184ssFce4?t=1578

From what it looks like across the pond, when it comes to American politics(and anything adjacent) the answer is almost always "greed".
