The entire country is waiting for Nevada and Arizona to finish counting votes to see who will control the U.S. Senate. At the momment Republicans have 49 Senate seats and Democrats have 48. The 3 states left are Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia. Georgia will have a runofff vote 1 month from now because neither candidate gained over 50% of the vote, the difference in the runoff is that only 2 candidates will be on the ticket instead of 3.
There is no good reason why Arizona and Nevada should be taking this long to count votes. They claim to be counting "mail in votes" while this hasn't been a problem for the other 48 states.
As shown below, Nevada has counted 83% of the votes and 88% of votes from Clark County. Over 75% of the Nevada population live in Clark Country, and like most cites it usually leans Democrat. When 100% of the Clark County votes are in we will likely know who the winner of Nevada will be.
The current margin is Clark County is closer than it was in 2020.
Arizona has a similar situation taking place. Maricopa County consists of more than 60% of the Ariona population, but it is often very close.
This is an image of the Maricopa County results rom the 2020 election. Biden only recieved 50% of the vote compared to Kelly's 53%.
Biden still "won" Arizona by a small margin, so the point I''m trying to highlight is that the winner of Maricopa county is often the winner of the election. Which is why it is very concerning that Maricopa was having ballot counting issues on election day and that of all people Bill Gates came out and said not to worry, that they resolved the issue. According to the Fox article I read, Bill Gates is on the board of the county. Which seems very random until you realize how important this county is for electing political leaders.
It is very clear that we need a better way to count votes. My opinion is that Blockchain technology will be the best way to do this in the future.
