Probably done through some API
But we don't really know
@busillis You don't get updates in the middle of the night from those APIs
Without somebody actually reporting numbers
It's NOT delayed by hours
I believe it used to be the places around the country submitted data to the AP and they sent it out to places
Theoretically yes but how does the data jump the airgap
Human input
Flash drives
Wdk
But now also results go to Edison research which go to networks
You mean the people who used flash drives in the middle of the night after they told observers to go home?
I don't really know that much about the election data... quite honestly I've never thought about it before November 4th of this year
So I'm not positive but I believe presincts go to counties and counties go to state and state gives results as they come in
I think it's the same folks that certify they are getting in numbers and totaling until all finalized
Does the precincts put it into the County's page
The county and puts the state
I'm not 100% I'm not that interested to know for sure and knowing the US different states have all different systems hah
Twitter is on FIRE tonight
Done by hand
I think presincts give it to like a county administrator
I would probably have to be a chain of custody I guess
Plus they also have unofficial tally systems and then like finalized
@Dedkraken honestly I wasn't trying to do a deep dive I was kind of hoping it would work itself out...
It seems to just be devolving
Caus like PA had results flow here unofficial and probably news places watch for updates https://www.votespa.com/About-Elections/Pages/Election-Results.aspx
But then a finalization process occurred to here https://www.electionreturns.pa.gov/
Another weird thing about the Giuliani conspiracy theory is all of these countries working simultaneously to one end....
If that's what he saying
Countries of counties I guess both haha
@Dedkraken, you just advanced to level 13!
Whatever the translator Miss translates
But yeah
He tends to address the elecronic version and goes into depth describing the multiple ways in which it could be exploited as well as counter machines which are more solid however, fake ballots can be tabulated and verified through hand counts. It seems to describe a system where electronic votes can be distributed evenly without as much detection while injecting massive batches of paper ballots at the tabulator when the the magin is large. Seems less likely it would have been a hacking event, but more of an algorithm protecting results of the election and steering only so much to avoid detection until Trump was in landslide win and so paper ballots had to be injected which was the last resort.
@TaLoN132 again whatever you said earlier about unAmerican unfortunate and on whatever else that was.... Tom and Jerry
Stouffer commentary
Sober commentary
The Georgia governor and secretary of state rigging a state is just out there. How does that work they gather up all their subordinates and none of them spoke out and did weird stuff all over eh
Also, remember that the results go to at least the AP and Edison Research NEP. I was not able to find how NEP gathers their data, but AP does publish it. I expect that it is roughly equivalent: https://www.ap.org/en-us/topics/politics/elections/counting-the-vote
