thinks the US
wont declare a winner on election night, and "thats normal" 
https://time.com/7022314/election-night-2024-results-timing-delay/
Sure even in 2020 during the pandemic they accurately declared the winner 
the night of. And I sure a winner not being dwclared only happened once (2000) since the 1800s which was when the only other two times that occurred

butt since bc of the pandemic or whatever you just gotta accept that things are different now and technology has gone backwards in the 21st century

Whichever side loses is definitely going to throw a tantrum the night of and drag out the whole process. There is really no reason not to nowadays. Politicians and their parties won't face any consequences for lying and crying so why not?

The crazier thing imo is the reaction to the suggestion that we should. As if it's some crazy, fringe policy position to require an ID when voting, that would only ever exist in the Jim Crow south or something.

Because it never is put together with a plan to get these ids to people for free, seeing as voting itself is a right. Dems would support it if that was the case, but of course if you ask righties anything to do with providing anything or funding anything their head explodes because they can't fathom ever getting that far with anything

Voting is a right here too in Canada, you can bring a piece of mail that's from a company like your water or gas bill as proof of ID, birth certificate, bank statement with address on it, student ID, and at the worst case you can declare your ID and have other people verify it in writing. You can get "age of majority" card ID for free here to prove you're over 18.
It's not hard.

It's because they've done so much gerrymandering over the years that the election is decided by 0.25% of voters in a swing state. This makes contested results and recounts inevitable.
From the sounds of it, this time it's going to be the 350 Samoans who live in west Pennsylvania that'll be deciding who is president of the free world for the next 4 years.

They unironically thought each state would elect its own darling and Congress would be able to choose the president every time.
Of course they also had a really r-slurred mechanic where the runner-up in the presidential election became the VP. This person would often be in opposition to the president so the president and VP would be political opposites. Also since the VP takes over if the president dies, it creates a strong incentive to assassinate the president, whereas there's much less incentive these days (since the VP is nominally at least the same party).

VP from the opposite party is such a pro-drama move. Imagine Trump as Kam's veep, endlessly concocting zany Wile E. Coyote schemes to try and bump her off.

I know you're canadian and therefore r-slurred when it comes to US politics, but gerrymandering literally has zero impact on presidential elections (for most states, but including Pennsylvania). The specific congressional district literally doesn't matter. They'll total up all the Penn votes and see which candidate got more, and that candidate gets all of Penn's EC votes.
Gerrymandering is still bad and distortionate but very literally and objectively does not come into play when it comes to presidential elections. It matters when it comes to stuff like congressional control (specifically of the house of representatives - it obviously doesn't matter with senators since those are elected statewide).
