world, they were able to produce nationwide results in a single night when they have tens of millions of people voting, but apparently not pennsylvania. recently, france determined a winner in their runoff presidential election in less than 24 hours despite over 82 votes being cast. as chair, candida managed to confirm the results countrywide during a single day in what was a very close election. and in 2016 it took united kingdom about a day to get the final results there during the brexit referendum despite 33.5 million votes cast in that election. but now it s taking the commonwealth of pennsylvania, watch, days, six days, maybe weeks, to count around a million votes in the senate primary? so what s happening here? how did we get to this point? for starters, the state s widespread mail-in voting is a big problem. in 2019 pennsylvania did pass a new law allowing no excuse mail-in voting, which, by the way, and interestingly, violates that state s constitution. constitution
