Depends on state law and competency. Some states allow for mail-in votes to be prepped for counting before election day and some allow them to actually be counted before election day. Those kinds of states are generally able to get the results in quickly on Election Day or the following day. Other states don't allow anything to be done with the mail-in ballots until election day. They sit in boxes as unopened mail and have to be prepped and counted while the state is also conducting election day activities. Those states tend to take longer, especially if there are significant numbers of mail-in ballots.

In hindsight, I shouldn't be surprised at the Fetterman win here because I strongly suspect he'll resign in short order come 2023 and Governor Shapiro will install his wife as the senator. I think that's "the" plan. This referenda on abortion carries an expensive cost. I don't think the majority of America that aren't millionaires realize that this time next year, you're not only going to continue getting strangled by high prices for food and energy, your 401s will be eaten alive simultaneously, and you may not have a job. As a vehement supporter of balanced power, I sure hope republicans realize that forcing their beliefs about conception and life onto others legislatively can overpower economic problems. It explains why some governor races and state level races went blue, while polling was artificially red (some people get a lot more pro choice behind the curtain than on the phone) So yeah democrats ran on trump and abortion and are pretty happy with the outcome. 1

The Frankish Reich Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 So I went to sleep at 11:00 Arizona time last night and Katie Hobbs was leading Kari Lake by 5 percentage points in the governor’s race. Hobbs was well on the way to winning. In fact, she DID win. And then I wake up this morning and there’s half a percentage point between Hobbs and Lake. They kept “finding” Lake votes overnight, and they’ll keep finding Lake votes. This election was rigged. It was rigged.* *The United States if Democrats acted like Trump. 2

Its definitely a regional issue. Kemp signed one of the strictest abortion laws in the country and smoked Stacey Abrams (who ran mainly on abortion) DeSantis signed 15 weeks … won by 20 points. We’ll see how NV and AZ go. Ohio is a red state, so not much to glean there. Northern states though … Yea, R’s need to recalibrate their abortion messaging.

Surprised the crime isn't yet bad enough in NY to try someone different. It'll be interesting to see if Caruso can win in LA. Both Whitmer and Hochul were favored to win headed into election day. The races were believed to be competitive due to the assumed pro-GOP environment but either losing would have been an upset. Quote In hindsight, I shouldn't be surprised at the Fetterman win here because I strongly suspect he'll resign in short order come 2023 and Governor Shapiro will install his wife as the senator. I think that's "the" plan. This is obviously not the plan. Absolutely nobody (other than you, I guess), will be surprised when this does not happen.

ChiGoose Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 It's honestly going to be pretty funny if the GOP takes the house by like, 5-10 seats and then the election for speaker is a disaster because McCarthy is a wet noodle with the intelligence of a bag of rocks.

I assume a good majority of them were mailed some time ago. Or do they not start the counting until Election Day? 🤷🏻♂️

However, the other factor that's not on the chart is when mail-in ballots are acceptable. I think for many it's just that they have to be postmarked by election day, meaning that they will still be getting valid ballots in over the next couple of days as the mail is delivered. In that case, they'll have to estimate how many votes they should expect to see over the next couple of days before making a decision in a close race.

I go back and forth. I would understand processing and counting when they arrive but I also understand the need to wait. The results could get our ahead of Election Day if they counted sooner.

I would understand processing and counting when they arrive but I also understand the need to wait. The results could get our ahead of Election Day if they counted sooner. The thing we often forget is that the states are not making election calls right now. They won't until all of the counting is done, and in some cases, they'll do audits and/or recounts as well, before certifying the election. What we are currently seeing is media outlets making projections based on the election data. I do not know how they should calculate potential outstanding ballots in heavy mail-in ballot states. That level of knowledge and math is beyond me. At this point, best bet is to just wait and see. Also, (I realized I didn't actually answer your question) I think they should count them ahead of time. The states that do that don't release any results until the end of Election Day anyway since that could impact the vote. But when they do release the results, they can include everything that came in before election day. Edited November 9, 2022 by ChiGoose 1
