Hey y'all! I used to work at the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder County Clerk and loved cashing in on that overtime by counting ballots. I say all this to say that NOTHING NEW IS HAPPENING! This one is for all these baffled Republicans.
What usually happens is that a candidate leads by a margin that mathematically means they will win and they announce it as a win, but we still would count every single vote EVEN AFTER A CANDIDATE WINS. The difference this year is that the margin is so close, that they can't call.
So, what you're seeing is the same amount of counting without a clear leader so it's taking longer. That's all that's happening. No conspiracy. But now Trump will drag this out for a month trying to steal the election, but know, nothing different has happened this year.
