It’s better to be accurate than fast. Fast would be nice too, but Federal, State and local elections occur simultaneously with all their various offices and ballot initiatives. Elections occur a full two months before the soonest anyone new is sworn into office, so we have the luxury of time if any serious discrepancies occur, as in 2000. Note that after 2000, Florida got really really good at managing their elections, so it’s not been a recurring issue there either. But hey, if we were to massively cut down on the number of elected positions, force political parties to spend their own money running their own primaries and eliminate ballot initiatives, that would also make elections more efficient. I’d like that.
