When Florida was a more bipartisan state, they actually passed pretty fucking decent laws that resulted counting ballots faster. They were embarrassed over the hanging chad shit, so that’s partially why they did this.
Florida passed a law that allows for them to start counting mail-in ballots 22 days before Election Day. State law says early voting ballots must be completely counted before Election Day as well. In Florida, the mail-in ballot has to be received by a certain time on Election Day. In Nevada, it just has to be postmarked by that day. Part of the reason Nevada has that law is because of those citizens who live in the remote areas of the state mail takes longer or they don’t have access like those in Reno or Vegas.
Republicans go against bills to help count faster because the slower tabulation time feeds the narrative republicans want which is “rigged” when it’s really not. Dems want to be able to count faster—republicans don’t.
