Brazil, with the world’s sixth-largest population, produced the results of its recent election on the day of the vote. Florida, with our nation’s third-largest population, delivered its midterm results on Election Day. So did Texas, our second-most-populous state, with almost 30 million residents. Yet Nevada, with approximately a tenth as many people (three million); and Arizona, with about seven million, are still counting votes. What’s wrong with this picture?
The “charitable” interpretation says it’s incompetence. The rationalization-born one, prevalent in mainstream media, is that it’s “normal.” But other observers have a very different explanation: vote fraud. To be precise, it’s the slow-count vote-fraud technique.
The races in Arizona and Nevada are most significant. If the Republicans win the two Senate seats up for grabs, they’ll control that chamber of Congress (they currently have 49 seats secured for next year; 51 are needed for a majority). The Democrats currently have 48 seats assured, meaning that wins in the two states would give them 50. Capturing the December 6 run-off in Georgia between incumbent Democrat senator Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker, which the Democrats are perhaps favored to do, would give them 51. Regardless, even 50 allows them to control the body, as the vice president, Kamala Harris, gets to cast a tie-breaking vote when the Senate is deadlocked 50-50.
(Note: Some media have already called the Arizona Senate race for Democrat Mark Kelly.)
Moreover, the Arizona gubernatorial race being contested will perhaps assuredly decide which party wins that state in the 2024 presidential election.
