Exactly these incompetently run elections undermine trust and confidence and make it seem like Trump's BS of election fraud may be sort of true. New York state and the city are a disgrace when it comes to managing elections properly. Not want to sound lecturing here, but sometimes I think you guys just should get out and let us Europeans run your elections. We don't have the issues.
Pretty much this. I've read some people claim that it shouldn't matter how long votes take to be counted so long as the results are accurate but by that logic, even months or years of counting would be A-OK.
For me, the worst thing part about this process is the whole July 12 deadline for counting absentees. That is so ridiculous. Every measure should be taken so as to ensure that ballots (including absentees) are ready to be counted by election night or less than 48 hours later (with the possible exception of military/overseas ballots due to their very special circumstances).
