You don't get to redo an election just because you don't like the outcome.
Oh for God's sake. That is not the reason for a re-do. The reason is because it took over a week to get election results, 1 in 4 tabulators in Maricopa County were down, people were asked to put their ballot in a box to be counted later, many people's votes were not counted, really long lines, etc... It was voter suppression.

The problem with the delay was caused almost singly by the right, who convinced their voters to hold onto their early ballots until the actual election day.
THAT's what caused the delay. The right. With their sabotage plan of deluging the polling locations with a torrent of votes that needed to be verified and counted by hand.

So now you're going to blame the right. That's rich Clara.
Modern day elections should be able to handle votes that come in ON ELECTION DAY. Florida had no problem. I was one of the people that voted ON ELECTION DAY. No problem.
The tabulators were tested fully the day before. Then "technicians" showed up and the tabulators stopped tabulating.

I think it was a free and fair election.
I don't think it was fraudulent - I believe every vote was counted correctly (although there probably were a few mistakes few and far between).
If you think all votes should be counted on election day, don't allow people to drop off hand marked ballots on election day, which is what the Right did.
And yes, I'm putting the blame on the delay in reporting results squarely in the lap of the right. We ALL saw that those votes counted late favored Lake much more than the ones counted on time and early - and we were all told to not count Lake out because the late paper ballots would favor her.
And they did.
So yeah. If you're complaining about delay in tallying, look in the mirror at your fellow Republicans.
Edited to add: Contrary to your belief, Florida is still not actually done counting ballots. They're in the exact same place as Arizona - at 99% counted. Florida was able to declare winners on election day because of the wide spread between candidates, but apparently Florida is no quicker than Arizona at actual counting.
Doesn't matter what you think Clara. Enough people think otherwise and they are marginalized by the left. What if it happened in a predominately black county? Would the left call them domestic terrorists and election deniers?
The US is not the only country to experience election "irregularities". At least they get a do-over. In the US we get called election deniers and domestic terrorists.
Got to admit that this sounds a little like Arizona.
"Long lines formed outside many polling stations as voters struggled with extra ballot papers. Some polling stations ran out of ballot papers during the day and others received ones for the wrong district, leading to a large number of invalidated ballots.
Another issue was that the election was supposed to end at 6 p.m., but voters waiting in line at that time were allowed to cast their ballots — at a time when exit polls were already public.
A new state election must be held within 90 days following Wednesday's ruling. The new head of Berlin's election authority, whose predecessor resigned after last year's chaotic vote, has said Feb. 12 is a likely date. The district assembly elections also will be rerun in full."
The article goes on to say that it may not make a difference on the national election but could make a difference in the state legislature.
The Germans have a reputation for being more precise and want to get it right even if it takes a re do. In the US it's how dare you think there were issues that affected the outcome and/or vote counts.
