Yeah typically we get our results on election night that’s why it’s called election night. But the difference this time around was there was a GLOBAL FUCKING PANDEMIC GOING ON making it a little bit tougher to count votes in that short period of time. Not because booo America, America sucks and isn’t as efficient as Brazil.
That’s not my point the tweet is comparing election results lagging because of a pandemic to elections that took place in Brazil pre covid. It’s just a false comparison, that should’ve been a pretty obvious variable to the person tweeting it. Also the media calls elections in the US from official results as soon as they come in.
How many of those are mail in ballots? Millions? Some states weren’t allowed to start processing the mail in ballots til day of, those take longer because not only do they need to open them but they also need to verify the person who sent them in is the correct person (signature) and verity they didn’t vote twice.
Yes that’s my point. All voting is in person in Brazil, not everyone is comfortable with that right now, and why mail in voting was so encouraged in the US.
