If anyone had any doubts what kind of person Glenn Greenwald is, this should settle it [View all]

"Is it at all strange that a brand new and opaque voting system was implemented in the name of COVID; people are trained to think it's normal to take not days but weeks to count votes; and candidates are required to concede when the media says so, not when the votes are counted?"

That he doesn't seem to even understand that many states allow votes to be counted up to a week after the election, as long as they are postmarked at or before election day, along with the fact that more people are voting by mail than ever before, demonstrates what a jerk he is.

California sends postage paid ballots to every registered voter

In addition, signatures need to be verified, votes need to be checked for duplications, provisional ballots need to be processed, etc.
