“Confidence in our nation’s elections is at an all-time low. Yet swing states with key races now routinely prolong counting for days even though polling strongly suggests that
it Severely Undermines the Public’s Trust in Elections.

Some states have grown so comfortable with this system that they’ve started to preemptively announce delays…
…the truth is, voters on both sides of the political aisle despise anxiously awaiting tabulation because they know it opens the door for problems and meddling.

Even if this election were as safe and secure as claimed, the fact that it now takes days and possibly weeks to learn who will control the halls of power for the next few years sows reasonable doubt in the minds of Americans.
Without a principled and structured system for quick, accurate calculation, confidence in elections plummets.

And what does it do for election integrity when only a few thousand votes trickle in each day following an election?
with no clear answer as to why it’s taking so long or when the final tally can be expected?
How does a polling place in the swing state of Pennsylvania run out of paper on Election Day?
How the largest county in the battleground state of Arizona (and the 4th most-populous county in the country) – where the officeholder in charge of running elections is at the top of the Democrats’ gubernatorial ticket – can be rife with problems in election after election (running out of printer ink this election day).
These are valid questions, not conspiracy theories, and they’re the types of concerns that shatter voter confidence.

…voters recall that Americans in decades past knew who the winners were before their heads hit the pillow at night.

It is still possible to determine victories on Election Day.
Not only do most civilized countries manage to tabulate votes in a reasonable timeframe,
but so do many large states.

For Americans to Trust Democracy, which politicians and the corporate media claim is under fire, states must Embrace Election Systems that Yield Rapid and Accurate Results and are worthy of voters’ trust.”

There’s an obvious error in your arithmetic:

185,743 – 177,473 = 8,270
51.14% – 48.86% = 2.28%

Well, Trump needs a new limo driver.
