[@takiherosquires1372]

Why has it suddenly become harder to varify elections? Its election day, not week, not month

[@Red_Platinuum]

Not suddenly, in 2000 it took a month to confirm bush won and I'm pretty sure there was a case in the 1800s where it took 3 months to verify the winner.

[@arcadeus5546]

Because as the margins get tighter, there are more calls for recounts. It's not that that they're being verified once, its that they're being verified 3,4,5+ times.

[@jay-1800]

Tbf Election Day is a more recent invention historically speaking it would be election week or weeks 😂

[@_loss_]

Because the tighter it is, the more votes need to be counted in order for a result to be secure

[@tylertriezenberg1399]

Some states passed laws preventing mail in and early votes from being counted until election day so they don't have a head start counting like they did before. But, it's also not new. 2000 took months

[@squidwardmc6128]

Kamala Harris and Trump should just decide not to have an election and go to the roulette wheel. If it lands on green though then I'm the next president.

[@zero_six_romeo]

The problem with this video is that it also doesn't take into account people who have already 62 million people have already voted, and those votes aren't going to change. So I did my own analyses comparing the makeup of early voters to voting history in every state, and, yes, Arizona's early voting does favor Trump. It also favors him in Nevada, Georgia and NC. But early voting has favored Kamala in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Iowa. With the best data available at the moment, I think Wisconsin will be the deciding state, not Pennsylvania. Both polling and early voting suggests that it will be a tossup. And one other thing to consider is the large number of independents in NC and Nevada that make both states a bit of an unknown on how they will go.

[@syndicalistspeedsolver]

It's wild how you see almost the entire country undoubtedly going to Trump and yet each candidate has pretty much equal chances of winning.

[@frafstet3835]

People votes not land, democrats have won the popular vote since 2008. That’s 16 years of people wanting democrats in power.

[@americanminotaur2518]

Just looking at the map at a glance can be misleading. Last time I checked, the pollsters odds for Trump wining the popular vote was something like 1 in 100. He’s NEVER won a majority of the vote. Many of the states that are solidly Republican are also very sparsely populated. The Capital city of the country has more people than the entire state of Wyoming. If Trump wins it will be without getting a majority of the popular vote, just like in 2016.

[@LeoLau-ip9bv]

lol

[@PFrules]

What happens if they both get 269 votes. It's possible.

[@Cinnuh]

Unlikely, but if that were the case then Congress and Senate would vote on president and vice president and that could create a republican/democratic combination in theory

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

It goes to the house and each state delegation gets one vote. Since the Republicans control more state delegations it means Trump wins

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

As an American i am SO depressed about this election. i HIGHLY dislike Harris, and am annoyed she gets the nomination with no discussion or even being voted for (she didn't even win a state in the primaries in 2020 but now she's the presidential nominee?) and as a conservative i am fed up with all of the trump sycophants in my party. I have NO CONFIDENCE in my government. Both sides are led by people who shouldn't be there.
