How can Florida with 7.75 million voters have 99% of their precincts turned in and Texas with 8 million voters have 98% of their precincts turned... but states like Arizona (2.5 million), Nevada (about a million voters), and others with a fraction of the voters may not have results for days?
After a ridiculous 2020 election where counting took so long you swore they were using fingers and toes to add things up Georgia revamped their laws. In 2022 they had high turnout, high early voting numbers, smaller lines and have 98% of their vote counted already. So it is possible that the same state that took days to count just two years ago can pass new laws, hold people accountable, replace county officials, and get it done.
Nobody ever takes issues with Florida or Texas elections. They are well oiled machines and there is never any hints of malfeasance. But it seems like there is always controversy and problems with the same states over and over and over... and they still cannot ever seem to get their shit together. The longer a state counts, the more often they end up with strange things happening.
More to the point, there appears to be hard standing "resistance" to doing the Georgia thing and making sure these trouble states get their shit together. A national voting law that uses the Florida, Texas, Georgia model would be a welcome situation.
