Election Reform

--and care more about a silly stupid superstition than about actual data. I live in WA, and it was also very nice for me to know for the most part what the likely results were before bedtime. What in goddam hell prevents you from comprehending the statement

?

Receiving ballots on Election Day vs the day after has FUCKALL to do with these 100% IDENTICAL results in WA and OR. Both states totally and utterly fail to keep up with signature validation on Election Day. Yes, it's nice that OR taxpayers pay extra to keep election workers working nights and weekends to clear the backlog faster, and it would be nice if WA would pony up the necessary bucks as well. But this has zero relationship to when ballots are received.

Just about ALL of WA elections were called the day after Election Day, and only the close ones required waiting until the end of the week. And if an election is that close, it's all the more imperative to do it right rather than fast.
