Full Trump quote:

"We'll see what happens at the end of the day [on Election Day]. Hopefully it won't go longer than that. Hopefully the few states remaining that want to take a lot of time after November 3rd to count ballots, that won't be allowed by the various courts."

1. Useless piece of shit-- he should know damn well how long it takes to count. And if he doesn't win..

you can be sure he'll be on the recount wagon.

2. Doesn't work that way

3. It takes time to process provisional ballots

even if they're all in by 8 PM on election day - especially in a state with 20 million voters. California election law actually builds in a month for counties to do this - and has for many years.

What's next - trying to keep people in line from voting after the official close?

4. Oh doesn't even start counting provisional ballots until 10 days after the election.

5. We should do him one better,

and stop counting in the morning of November 3rd.
To ensure that we know results on November 3rd, of course.

7. Shit, can't we just stop counting now? nt

6. Way to disenfranchise deployed military voters, moron. Maybe if he or

anyone in his family had ever served, he would understand that.

8. Go fuck yourself, Donald
