I saw something yesterday about Arizona having FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND uncounted votes of various kinds: absentee, early, provisional. How the hell does that happen? They can be "counted" prior to Tuesday; I mean, I don't know AZ election law, but I also saw something about Beteaux's early lead in TX due to exactly that: preliminary returns already counted. Then there's Milwaukee's 40,000 "damaged" ballots that needed to be fixed.
I have probably mentioned every election cycle that I've been an election official for a while (didn't do this one, however). I can't imagine a bi-partisan election commission, either at the county or state level, still having such loose safeguards that ballots can be found after the fact in various places for various reasons. (Having posted this, I hope Ohio is never one of these "found ballots" states.)
Two things: 1) Trump's first look into local election procedures produced nothing but stone walls, very little cooperation. I wonder why. b) This is a good reason to discard that "national vote" bullshit.
