Quote:The liberal media thinks the American people are so stupid.

PBS has a new report out today explaining how it will be completely ‘normal’ if we don’t know the results of the midterms on election night.

That is not normal, but the left wants to make it the new normal.

Just look at one race as an example, say the Los Angeles mayoral race. On election night, far left nutjob Nithya Raman was in a distant third place, but over the course of a few days and then a couple of weeks, they completely flipped the race. Nithya Raman bumped conservative alternative Spencer Pratt of the ballot and now it’s a contest between Karen Bass and Raman. Far left vs. really far left.

That is what PBS wants you to think of as normal.

Take a look at their report:

When will we know 2026 midterm election results? It may take some time, but that’s normal

If you go to bed on election night and don’t know who won a midterm congressional race, that’s normal. And if you wake up the next morning and find that a candidate who was behind hours earlier has since pulled ahead, that’s normal, too.

That won’t stop some politicians and their allies from spreading misinformation during vote counting.

In past elections, elected leaders, candidates and social media users have spread falsehoods that “late night” arrivals of “ballot dumps” or “suitcases” of ballots are signs of fraud, or that only Democratic-led cities take days to count votes.

Some states such as Florida often complete the majority of their unofficial counts in fewer hours or days than elsewhere. But it is not a sign of fraud if other places need more time.

“States are neither fast or slow, they all count and certify the results in accordance with the laws passed by their state legislature,” said Ryan Macias, an election technology and cybersecurity expert. “What is fast or slow is how quickly the media can collect sufficient evidence to confidently predict the winner, which is typically based on the margin of victory.”…

No state is required to complete the official count on election night. State laws set deadlines to certify final results, often weeks later.

We all know what this is.

It’s PBS trying to plant a seed in the minds of voters, to explain away the abnormalities that are sure to follow.

This is how the left wins elections.

You can't hate these people enough.

Civil War and National Divorce.

It's time.

I dunno, I hate them a lot

It may be Thanksgiving before we know final results in California. And to think it's only 2026. Some people still climb up poles to use the telephone.

They want you to think this ios normal when they used to agree it was a joke...today's DemocratsMarxists not the same as yesteryear's Democrats.

That’s why we have to make it “too big to rig”.

Extremists in the Democrat Party have a plan on what to do if they lose. Let’s make them implement their plan.

It is normal.

The official election results don’t come in until several days later when all the precincts are canvased, and risk limit audited.

23 states have certification deadlines in Nov. 18 states have certification deadlines in December.

The results aren’t official until they are certified.

The results you get on election night are unofficial, then elections are called by the media based on how big the lead is and what is still outstanding to count.

The candidate can concede, or wait it out.

This is the way elections have always worked. When you guys are completely ignorant of how things actually work everything seems like a conspiracy.

Occam’s razor. State laws about counting the vote are different, but that does not sell the narrative.

Most countries have election results out within hours after the polls close.

Only in Democrat run states can the election not be decided for a whole month.

And there are people who are perfectly fine with it.

So long as it keep Republicans out of office.

Republican President
Republican controlled Congress
Conservative supermajority on SCOTUS

Republicans sure are being kept out of office!

Ok. And?

Republicans aren't in control of all 50 state legislatures.

But what would I know.

I'm just a bubble chud.

I'm still waiting for a better insult from you.

Let’s take a look at some countries and see if that’s true :

France, 2022, 3 days after Election Day
Canada, typical (per law), ~13 days after Election Day
Germany, 2017, 18 days after Election Day
Germany, 2025, 19 days after Election Day
United States (president), 2024, 62 days after Election Day
Australia, 2022, 34 days after Election Day
Australia, 2025, 40 days after Election Day
Brazil, 2022, 43 days after Election Day
Mexico, 2024, 73 days after Election Day

Surprise, Surprise. Your post isn’t true.

Hilarious. PBS is "planting a seed" by reporting known facts that have been known knowns for Y E A R S.

So what exactly do you call it when people claim fraud before one vote is even cast?
Or when candidates claim they only way they can lose is because fraud happened?

Yeah...and?

Do you live in California?
When do the winners in today's election get seated?
Not knowing final results until December 4th, hinders what, exactly?

I really don't care, Elvis.

Especially since you called me a waste of tax payer money when I was in the money.

What's the matter, chickenhorse?

Cat got your tongue?

I don’t know, but I know what it facilitates.

Poor ole backwoods redneck Mississippi. We at least can count without using our fingers and toes.

I'd rather be a backwoods redneck racist living in Mississippi than be a soy filled guilt ridden white leftist living in California.

We all know you don’t care about blatantly lying, you don’t need to keep spelling it out. It’s more something that is just understood and you don’t need to keep stating it.

If me lying makes you mad, I'm all for it.

I hate you anyway.
