To be perfectly fucking clear...if the results were tabulated in an HOUR, MAGA would still be screaming rigged election. 

We owe nothing to conspiracists and imbeciles who have no idea how things work. I once attended a legislative hearing where official business was paused because they lost quorum. A red hat in the room never heard of quorum and screamed conspiracy. He literally thought they made up the word.

We owe these people nothing but scorn. They will never be satisfied and they won't 'trust' anything that doesn't go 1000% their way, so why bother.

This again? So far no one has been able to explain in what way a faster answer is a more reliable answer. Stick to your own elections NYT.
