Little peak at the vote counting process in Philadelphia.

 

I'm confused about how the counting goes. I read ballots are scanned, but then what's with the manual counting? And are they counting scans or the actual papers? 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I don’t know that information either. My guess would be that perhaps the ballots are scanned (and counted by computer) and then counted manually in order to ensure accuracy. They could also just be counting the raw number of votes checked. Counting mail-in ballots is also a multi-step process, so it could have something else to do with that process.

I had never in my life heard of Helena, Montana when I read this a while ago. Then half an hour ago I was walking while listening to a podcast.....and I kid you not, Helena, Montana of all places was mentioned :yikes: 

It’s the state capital so worth remembering in case you ever get asked it in a quiz :d

Why Nevada won't update the counting today? It's just the beginning of the day for them. Given so, Biden can't declare victory even winning Wisconsin and Michigan today.

He can - without Nevada - if Georgia gets turned around (and the gap is getting smaller there).
