I'm sure more votes will be found under the bed like AZ and Florida which all are for Democrats, right?
But every vote must be counted, right?
You speak like someone who has no idea about the mechanics of an election. In AZ, on election night, the mail in/drop off ballots had not been counted. That's why only 75% of the votes were in. There's a Republican gov and Sec'y of State in AZ and neither has claimed any malfeasance, nor has McSally. But you know better right... you just know there's a bunch of Mexicans changing their clothes in their portable adobes and going back into vote.
In Canada we have elections Canada who runs the elections, people vote the same way no matter where they live. How come the US does not create consistency in how people vote? Also, we just had municipal elections and I was not registered on the voting list ... I went to the polling station, showed my drivers licence, voted and was gone in less than 5 minutes...

Yeah, it’s cause it’s left up to the states. States rights and all. Personally I’d be for a federal program...and that’s saying a lot

State elections should be left up to the states. Federal elections should be left up to the feds. That is how it works in Canada. Canada Elections doesn't run provincial elections. In BC, Elections BC runs the elections. Meltdown was only talking about federal elections. But of course, we have a different system of government altogether, so I get what he means. Like, while midterms in the US also involve selecting Governors, which is state level, it also elects federal senate and congress members. So the lines are way more blurred during the midterms than they are in Canadian provincial elections, which are completely separate from anything on the federal level, and then federal and provincial governments just do their best to work with one another. Which, humbly, make way, way, way more sense.

That is correct. I was thinking of federal. Still might not be a bad idea to somehow have the same rules in every state, oversaw by the federal government. our elections are different that way, we never vote the same day for 2 different levels of government, or at least in Ontario we don't. If it wasn't for Wynn moving the provincial election date to earlier in the year, Ford might not be premier...lol

Just to give you guys two very unique examples of states controlling the federal process, that just cropped this election:
In the Maine congressional, each voter ranks their selection of candidates. If no one gets 50%+1 voter, the top two candidates receive the #2 ranked votes on the ballots where the top two weren't number one. Then they move on to number 3 and so on until someone gets over 50%. So it matters who you rank #2. The Democratic candidate won the election this week based on the number of #2 votes he received, because no one won 50% in the straight ballot.
In the Mississippi Senate, they have to do a run off with the top 2 because no one got 50% in the direct. That's next week I think. So yeah, there are some unique systems in place, based on the formation of the original gov't.

I don't know anything about the Maine state constitution, but I don't understand where in the federal one, this would be illegal. The article isn't specific enough to identify why he is suing. Should be interesting.
She hasn't been declared a winner, right? The race is uncalled, but nice try.
I'm sure more votes will be found under the bed like AZ and Florida which all are for Democrats, right?
But every vote must be counted, right?
You speak like someone who has no idea about the mechanics of an election. In AZ, on election night, the mail in/drop off ballots had not been counted. That's why only 75% of the votes were in. There's a Republican gov and Sec'y of State in AZ and neither has claimed any malfeasance, nor has McSally. But you know better right... you just know there's a bunch of Mexicans changing their clothes in their portable adobes and going back into vote.

My response would be that he is suing because he lost. If he were the second choice of the majority of the voters; or he won with a clear majority I would bet there would be no lawsuit.
I like the idea of third party candidates having a second choice in case there is not a clear winner with over 50% of the vote. I hate to see someone lose by 1,000 votes when there are 20,000 votes that are just thrown away. It would solve the problem of people wanting to run as a third party and the desire for people to vote for people that are not in 'the two party system'. People get to vote their conscious and then have a second choice when that person, most times, loses.

It's a more structured version of caucuses.
