More Reforms Needed

Congress isn’t the only thing that desperately needs reform.  Many Americans are deeply concerned about the integrity of our elections.  But already Democrat election officials at the state level are warning that we may not have results on Election Night. 

It seems they are preparing the public to accept the fact that just like there are weeks of voting before Election Day, there will be weeks of counting after Election Day. 

And just like absentee and mail-in balloting are susceptible to fraud and cheating, prolonged periods of counting are also susceptible to fraud, cheating and plain old incompetence, and there's plenty of that!  (Here and here.)

How did this happen?  How did we go from a nation with an Election Day and quick results to taking days and weeks to count ballots?  Why are so many states voting weeks before the election and counting ballots weeks after the election? 

Republicans should not blindly accept these lame excuses by Democrat elections officials.  They should say that any Democrat who suggests it will take weeks to count ballots is undermining democracy – because they are! 

Nothing undermines democracy more than uncertain results and waiting around while ballots get lost or mysteriously found.  The longer it takes to determine the results, the more concerned about the results people will become, and justifiably so.
