Elections officials held a meeting this morning to clear the air about a sudden increase in ballots favoring Democrats.
Democrats got smashed locally, but with these changes they won’t be completely excluded from the local government.

We are being asked to believe that it takes days or weeks to count ballots in America today when we used to know the outcome of any election by 2AM at the least or the next day at the latest.
I attribute this to the Rube Goldberg Effect whereby you take a very simple thing, overly complicate it until it stops working, then declare the thing needs replacement because it is provably not working ;-) nmewn
Not every state has the same, let us say, challenges? Texas, Florida, Ohio, several other states had the results in, tabulated, and certified within 24-36 hours. Arizona, Georgia, places with mail-in-only voting like CO, that's where the delays are. Places already suspected of having vote fraud on an industrial scale, the same places that had problems in 2020.
The pattern suggests that mail-in ballots and corruption are the two leading causes of election result delays in the US, with "too-close-to-call" and recounts because of that closeness being a very distant third cause, and actual physical problems perhaps fourth (thinking of the polling place in Houston that lost power due to a construction and repair accident.)
Yes, mail-in ballots were the explanation here. The Election Day ballots are all in the ballot box; you can count them all you want, but there’s only as many as there are (and a tally has been kept all day as to how many that is). With mail-in ballots, there’s always a chance someone will find another stack that got put somewhere (which is hard to distinguish from “‘got put somewhere,’” a factor that increases suspicions given that mail-in ballots heavily favored Democrats).
It's not just mail-in ballots; although those are the most easily corrected source of problems.
In Chicago machine politics--I first ran across this in the days of Mayor Richard J Daley--specified wards would hold back their vote reporting until the heelers had been advised of the numbers they needed to report in order to get the right overall outcome. That's a much harder problem to correct.
