State Law Sets The Count Speed Trump Called Rigging
Trump held up Brazil's same-day count on Oct. 4. Michigan and Pennsylvania require nearly all mail ballots by the close of polls.
- L0 The Line
Donald Trump: "125 Million People voted today in the first round of Brazil’s Presidential Election. The results came out shortly after the vote closed, on the SAME DAY! In Detroit, Philadelphia, California, and numerous other U.S. Cities and States, the results, with much smaller numbers, will often take weeks to Rig, I mean, calculate. Voting in America is CORRUPT!!!"
The TruthEach state's own law sets when mail ballots must arrive and when officials may open them. Pennsylvania bars opening a mail ballot before 7 a.m. on Election Day, and California counts ballots postmarked by Election Day that arrive up to seven days later. Brazil has no mail voting; its voters use electronic machines at the polls.
The Text"current state law does not permit counties to begin opening these ballots until 7 a.m. on Election Day."
