partly: (Pretty Please)
People!

Over 115 million people voted in this election. That doesn't include all the absentee or provisional ballots that were cast.

We haven't counted them all, yet. This is not a sign that the system is flawed.

It means that there are over 115 million ballots to count.

I repeat 115 million

Do you have any idea how much a 115 million is?

And, really, the whole Ohio thing? It's just about counting the votes. It's not about errors or problems... it's just about counting.

115 million.

That's a big number. We should be pleased that it's that big. How depressing would it be if it would be a small number of votes that were easily counted?

Better that we have a lot and wait.

ETA: Ok. I guess we're no longer waiting to count them all. But still: 115 million.

Pleased is not the word. The turnout is ROCKING MY WORLD.

The turnout rocks my world as well.

What doesn't rock my world is the fact that a significant percentage of those apparently aren't worth counting.

I don't know where I live anymore when every single vote isn't worth counting before a conclusion is reached.
