Episode notes
Slow Vote Counting
- It's absurd that several days after the election, key races remain undecided due to slow vote counting.
- This casts a shadow on the process and raises concerns, especially in Arizona, where the Secretary of State is also a candidate.
Florida's Voting System
- States like Arizona and Nevada should adopt more efficient voting systems like Florida's.
- Florida's system ensures results are available on election night, preventing drawn-out uncertainty.
Polling Missteps
- While some final polls were accurate, others missed a late surge in Democratic support, possibly due to underestimating the impact of abortion, threats to democracy, and Trump.
- Independents, who typically break for the party out of power, largely supported incumbents, confounding expectations.
