The minute Dems changed the election parameters on the eve of the election I knew it was doomed. It was clear what the purpose behind it was.
I saw a French gentleman interviewed last night discussing French elections and how smoothly they run. Others go to the poll show photo ID, are given a ballot, they fill it out put it in an envelope, seal it and into the ballot box. Typically France knows the results within 3-4 hours of the polls closing. The Vote is certified within 3 days but know one cares because there is no discrepancy from the voting day results.
Interestingly he said that France disallowed mail in voting in the mid 70s because there was too much fraud.
