In that time, the entire U.S. will also vote, and despite countless possibilities for litigation, everyone reasonably expects to know the basic numerical…

British Columbia will have a general election on Saturday but because of a massive increase in mail-in voting, the results will not be known for at least three weeks — November 16 at the earliest. Even then it might not be certain. With the sense of time inflation that has become familiar during the pandemic, that is going to feel like six months for British Columbians.

Q: News outlets always race each other to “call” elections on election night. Why won’t they do that this time in British Columbia?For all the hoopla of the decision desk, that is never more than an educated guess, as by law, the official results in most jurisdictions, certainly provinces, are not really known for several days, until the formal final vote.

There should be no changes to how we vote without a referendum. Who voted for a 3 week long election result? Not me. No ballots received after Election Day should be valid. Mail in voting is just fraud looking for a place to happen.

The movement away from in-person voting facilitates voter fraud. There can be no dispute about that.

You wouldn’t send cash by mail, is a vote less important? If we can shop in supermarkets, we can vote in polling stations. Social distance, bring your own pencil. If you’re able, but too lazy to get off your keester to vote, you don’t deserve a vote.

guess they have till those ballots . Still don’t believe the federal election results that got Gilligan back as PM
