    Because they have different laws and different processes. When to start organizing, counting, how to count is different. How the ballots are mailed and the forms are different. Pennsylvania is a split government with a Dem Exec branch and Repub Lege. The lege had bills to streamline the vote count process, but chose not to, knowing that this would happen. It was intentional. Don't let the liars implicate it as a tech problem or fraud problem. It's a political decision.

    Not sure how you took that from my comment.

    The difference is, if Kamala won, I'd feel confident that she'd serve the country admirably, and while there will be issues, she and her administration will navigate them as best as they can.

    You seem to be ready to already make excuses for the Trump admin though, probably because you know things are not about to go well.

    AP Race Call: Donald Trump wins Georgia
    BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Former President Donald Trump won the swing state of Georgia on Wednesday, returning its 16 electoral votes to the Republican column. Joe Biden narrowly carried Georgia in 2020, but Republicans have won every other Georgia presidential vote since 1996. Trump tried to overturn his 2020 loss in Georgia, setting off a political and legal struggle that led to his indictment in the state. While the state has two Democratic U.S. senators, Trump’s victory proves Georgia still has a Republican bent. Six candidates appeared on Georgia ballots, but votes for Claudia De la Cruz and Cornel West weren’t counted. The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 12:58 a.m. EST.

    Trump shows up for work at 11, has an enemies list, and wants to be loved. Vance is going to be putting in a lot of work before that. I think he's going to start laying the foundation early. I wonder if he's going to get pushback.

    The question is if that makes sense. You are arguing a strawman. Maybe they should consider changing their processes. Seems to work fine in Florida.

    Lol.

    All I've said is now that the GOP will likely have the power (not sure what's going on with the house) then it's on them to fix the country's issues.

    This is LITERALLY what Trump ran on. Literally. He said he will fix everything. So get to fixing.

    Lol, they made excuses for him for 4 years of shambles culminating in the pandemic that killed millions and an insurrection and here we are, I wish I had your faith.

    Why has Philadelphia been "stuck" at 78% counted?
