A former Dem was on CBC saying: "Pennsylvania takes long to count votes due to their electoral rules", I didn't hear ANY of this in 2016

[shockedcanadian]

All I hear is "Pennsylvania will decide the election". They just happen to be 20 E.C votes and they just happen to be the state with the rules most geared to a delayed outcome. A very important state, and this woman repeated the mantra I've heard this year, but didn't hear last year. "This could take 6 days", and, "Pennsylvania will decide the election". I didn't hear any of this in 2020.

For such an important state, why are they this unprepared?

During a very important and divided election, this is going to add deeper distrust in the West. Even 538 was promoting this early that basically, "hey, Trump could be winning but not to worry, the Blue Wave will follow".

Huh?

In other words, we need to brace ourselves for a “blue shift” in states like Pennsylvania. That is, states that primarily report Election Day results first could show Republicans with an initial lead on election night only to then shift toward Democrats as more mail ballots are counted. To be clear, this won’t be true everywhere.

Then there is this from Fox:

Pennsylvania AG hit for predicting Trump will lose election before votes even counted

Pennsylvania AG hit for predicting Trump will lose election before votes even counted

Pennsylvania’s Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, found himself in hot water on social media after claiming that President Trump has lost the ability to win the battleground state, just over 24 hours before the polls close on Election Day.

www.foxnews.com

They did not have Mail Ballots Returned: 2,414,351 in 2016.

If you are in a warehouse and you hear, "look guys, we are going to have 10x the number of shipments today, so we brought in 5x our workforce for the day. You might have to do a couple of hours of O.T".

How difficult is it to count votes? Is this grueling labor or something? This is a massive election, they've had months to prepare and some are saying, "well it might take a week to get the results ONLY from big 20 E.C Penn with the A.G who publicly says Trump will lose even before one vote is counted".

This smells worse than The Mooches panties. This is already an intense election and they are creating a horrible situation. Look at the A.G's tweet where he announced that Biden was winning (even before a vote had been counted), it's being ratioed to hell. Even some Dems are asking him "wtf aren't you prepared?!"

Not worried about it. I really have no idea how long it takes to count millions of paper ballots in that state or how they do it. Only know most states have never had to do it before. If you are smelling something way up there in Canada it is probably just factory made pollution and I suggest you get a mask. Don't worry about it friendly Canuck. We got this. Get some popcorn and hot coffee or cocoa, and maybe a bottle of Bicardi to go with it and watch. Gonna be fun! Really!

This election is historic and will be written in new History books.

Yep. Ought to be fun!

If America fails, we are all doomed. Capitalism is doomed. If Americans become disenchanted with the political process and democracy, they will give up and succumb to the Big Government socialism that the rest of the world is failing under.

In fact, without American capitalism, much of the world would be a fraction of what they are. America pushed them, protected them, encouraged them to embrace capitalism and reject communism.

Some people were calling this long ago, I'm glad to see I'm far from alone in wondering how odd this appears, even if I am not the most informed:

From June:
The experience of this month’s Pennsylvania primary election, coupled with Trump’s increasingly frequent false claims about mail voting, point to a troubling possibility in November.

Pennsylvania is running out of time to prevent a nightmare 2020 election scenario

[Crepitus]

Because 10 times as many people voted early or by mail and PA laws say they can't start counting until the polls close. It's not some conspiracy, it's just the way it's always been.

So they are the only state with this? How many hours does it take to count 10x the number of votes? We would assume they'd hire, what? 5x the number of counters. So it might take them, double the time, right? This is a repeat of the Dem Primaries, where NJ took months and apps crashed. What was the excuse for that?

Furthermore, I just saw Pete "Alfred-E-Neuman" on Fox and he was suggesting that Obama did better with the economy than Trump. If I were on that show, he'd blush harder than Neuman. This is a guy who has no clue. You can argue what you want about Obamas policies, but economic success for the working man was NOT one of them. Good for China, bailouts and Wall Street, NOT Main Street.

In fact, Obama was so bad with the economy that he offered Romney a job in his economic advising team after he won in 2012. That tells you something.

The only state? Hell no. The only one tRumplings are currently bitching about though. They've gotta do signature matching, check postmarks, and everything else. Do you want a secure election?

Yes?

Then let them get on with it.

People want it to be on the level. Bernie voters were angry when the Primaries seemed suspect. Voters in NJ got angry when Dem Primary took months to determine, and when an app crashed and delayed results by days.

It's no different for this situation. Democracy is precious, anyone violating it spits on the graves of those who died in Europe and in other wars.

Then there are others who don't care what graves they spit on as the end goal is power at any costs. Why would anyone even risk the optics of any election improprieties?

It definitely is NOT the way it has always been. Democrats are cheating more now than ever - which probably means they will get caught more than ever.

We should have death sentence for this stuff.

Well that's a lie.

This is exactly how it has always been . Nothing has changed except there are more to count than usual for obvious reasons.
