Report: North Carolina Won’t Be Updating State’s Election Results For A Full Week

The following article, Report: North Carolina Won’t Be Updating State’s Election Results For A Full Week, was first published on Flag And Cross.

The thing America needs to take away from the 2020 election, once and for all, is that a new system of counting votes is absolutely necessary. Anybody have any ideas?

As far as North Carolina goes, a state expected to go for President Trump, we won’t know the results for some time.

Here’s the scoop, via NBC News:

The final count is delayed because the vast majority of county boards of elections won’t start counting the absentee and provisional ballots until Nov. 12 — so totals won’t be updated for more than one week.

LOOK:

North Carolina won't update its total vote count until Nov. 12. The state is crucial for President Trump's path to victory. Here are the @NBCNews numbers. #Election2020 https://t.co/rp4VMjL3cC pic.twitter.com/ae71Rt79ax

REACTIONS:

This is genuinely egregious. NC officials are actively delaying counting and wrapping this up until the deadline the courts gave them.

And Biden is getting @CalforNC and Dems down ballot to refuse to concede to delay bad Dem news as long as possible.

Terrible. #ncpol https://t.co/5gHl5eE6fm

Sorry for being the millionth person to state the obvious, but how we count ballots is a national disgrace.

Certain states need a complete overhaul to count ballots quickly, efficiently, & accurately. If they won't reform, then Congress should (gasp) mandate minimum standards. https://t.co/knuyQsOIcm
