Hi,
Beside being:
. a country with 1/10th of the population;
. centralized voting rules;
. <yadi yada>...
PS: And there is a lot in that <yadi yada> about
the (publicly) unreal amount of insanity being pulled by the
GOP this year.

S.N.A.F.U.
Other SNAFUs, Georgia had technical problems with its
voter database systems during the first couple of days of
early voting. Expect all sorts of minor problems
throughout the election and afterwards. Nonetheless they
are unlikely to significantly impact the results
(hopefully), but will generate lots of noise.
Its not just underfunded state I.T. systems. Even very
large social media companies can have technical Oopsies.
Again, hopefully Twitter won't fall down again during the
evening of November 3rd. The digeratti will lose thier
minds.
Even if Twitter or another major social media platform
does go belly-up, most likely it will be a normal
technical problem. Wishing the FBI & CISA & OGAs
watch officers a very boring night on November 3rd.
In other news, New Zealand is having national elections
this weekend. New Zealand is usually ranked in the top 10
best election administrations worldwide. NZ expects to
have the majority of ballots counted within 2 hours of
their polls closing on Saturday evening.
Jealous of the Kiwis and their competently run elections.
