Remember Normal?

...every eligible vote is counted and each county canvasses and certifies the vote totals. Yes it’s true that when a race isn’t close the media may “call” the race, and candidates may concede or declare custody, but such actions are technically meaningless. 2/ pic.twitter.com/byPWRaH5tA

In my 2008 race for Sanpete County commission, because of provisional and absentee ballots, we didn’t know the final outcome until it was announced at the canvas meeting two weeks after the election. That didn’t mean someone was trying to steal it—it’s just how elections work. 4/ pic.twitter.com/ec3KBNvuAL

Finally, remember there is no such thing as a national election. Every election is a county election ran by a county clerk. We have 29 of them in Utah working their guts out right now. They are great people and true pros. So be kind and patient. And ignore the conspiracies. /end pic.twitter.com/yZ3b0IklY4

This is what it looks like. Well, and this:

The Ohio Secretary of State (R) was asked point blank about Trump wanting all ballots counted by Tuesday night, and he retorted, “That’s not how elections work.” Watching more of the Republican electeds outside the Beltway turn on Trump is really fun, and I hope it sticks.

I've never been so partisan as I am now. I don’t think there’s a Republican in America who deserves election or re-election to public office. But at least a few of them know how representative democracy works.  Now if they could just enlighten the rest of the party.
