My "election suggestion"

Results should not be dribbled out to the "press".

Results should never ever ever be announced until they have been thoroughly counted, verified, and vetted by both sides.

Then it can be released to the damn press.

Why do we play games with elections? It's not a damn football game. It's not a freaking party. We don't "need" to know the blow-by-blow, precinct-by-precinct, minute-by-freaking-minute report of what's going on.

WTF shouldn't we just wait to get the "REAL AND FINAL AND OFFICIAL RESULTS"?

1. On the one hand, I agree with you.

On the other hand, the play by play makes it easier to spot irregularities.
