France and Brazil recently conducted nationwide presidential elections on one day — and had the results on election night. Florida, one of our largest states in both size and population, had its election results on election night. Virginia and nearly every other state had their election results on election night. How is it possible that both Nevada and Arizona do not have their results days after the election?

It may just be incompetence, but even if it were, after the debacle of 2020 it sure looks like it could be something else. The entire country is being held captive by those states. They still have hundreds of thousands of uncounted ballots.

If nearly every other state can get its votes counted on election day, why can’t Arizona and Nevada do the same? The political left complains about election deniers. Is it really so hard to understand why so many of our citizens have zero confidence that we are getting free and fair elections?
