How so?
Could it be because the late crucial deciding results are from Democrat-run states, which all have the ‘mail in voting’ rule, plus a flexible approach to voter ID in a country that claims to have ‘one person, one vote’?
In direct contrast to now largely Republican Florida, with 21 million people who had their results completed by midnight on election day.
Once you allow postal voting, with so many opportunities for inaccuracies, you are entering the arena of the Wild West where, to quote Onassis, ‘the rules are there are no rules’ (no doubt he’s Ardern’s favourite capitalist as she follows the mantra to the letter). But I digress…
Here I must add a qualifier. I am not suggesting our election security is up for question. This is one area Ardern has not attempted to transform – yet. She is definitely having a lot of fun tinkering around the edges of our democracy with Labour’s Maori ward introduction, despite almost 100% of the public being opposed.
