Thanks to their work, and the margins being fairly large, the media was able to call the races within hours, sometimes minutes, after the polls closed. And their reward -- today they go back to work to continue counting and confirming the vote counts, so they can officially certify the election. /2

Don't listen to the election deniers, no matter how wealthy they are. Go vote or drop off your ballot if you haven't already, and thank your poll workers! And next time, if you have any doubts, volunteer to be a poll worker and see how secure our system is for yourself!

Every election, it's the same thing. People who think their candidates will lose spreading lies on social media platforms (some of which they might own) because they don't know anything about elections, or they don't care about American democracy.

🔹 The ballots have been approved and printed months ago. Everyone knew what the ballot looked like long before today.
🔹 The rules/laws about the election were known months/years ago, to all the candidates. If they're complaining on the last day about a rule, that's on them.

🔹 The media's call of a race is NOT official. The official count happens after professional election officials confirm and double check the count days/weeks later
🔹 If a race is really close, the media might need more ballots (incl military ballots) must be counted, which could take time.

🔹 98% of all voters cast auditable, verifiable, recountable paper ballots (all except Louisiana), incl. the entire states of CA, NJ, NY, & VA.
🔹 Those ballots will be hand-audited to confirm the unofficial counts from the machines was accurate.

🔹 All voters provide ID in order to register.
🔹 Every voter's identity is verified when they get a ballot.
🔹 We KNOW election fraud is extremely rare. Perhaps only dozens of cases in a major national election. And it's the easiest crime to catch. Those few who commit fraud, get caught.

As postmarks don't always get applied, and since the later ballots are received the later they are counted, I would not advise it, unless there's no other way to return the ballot. Unless you cannot return it directly to a drop box, election office, or voting site, I would drop it off in person.
