Also what's taking the US so long to count all the votes?

@matrix When and in what order things are counted in depends on the state due to laws and on the county due to policy or factors specific to the county.

Some places, for example, won't be allowed to count a single mail-in ballot until some time this morning. Others won't release any stats until Thursday.

So even if a ballot arrived two weeks ago, it might not be counted until hours or even days after election night.

Why is it so complicated though?
We have it significantly simpler and we have population of 10 million which is more than what majority of US states have.

During 2 weeks before the election everyone gets a voting ballot in mail.
Ballot boxes open at 14:00 and close at 22:00 then open at 8:00 and close 14:00 on Saturday. After that the votes are counted and usually within like 6-8 hours we know the results.

@r000t
Also why are your ballot boxes open in the middle of the week when people are at work or school?

Simple. Prople who work hard tend to vote right...

You can make up the rest by yourself.
