Yeah I read that on the news. Few questions come to mind.

1. Why would the most important nationwide event held every four years with ample time for preparation and logistics suffer from problems like (cough) "running out of ballots?" Again... my experience in industry was all about planning for, and executing projects. Every "i" was dotted and every "t" was crossed. This is the United States we're talking about... not some banana republic where even simple logistics can be fukked up.

2. What is the reasoning behind overturning an election because "X" or "Y" polling places ran out of ballots for more than "A" or "B" time period? Seems arbitrary and irrelevant to me. At most, a polling place running out of ballots translates into a huge inconvenience for voters with lives to get back to... and you'd think voters for both parties would be affected. But ballots cast up to that point are ballots cast. Controlling a polling place to ensure the integrity of a voting process doesn't seem like rocket science to me. Maybe I'm missing something.

3. What's next... if the polling station officials show up with the wrong color ties... someone can overturn the election?


The words "banana republic" keep coming to mind, because that was what Trump was fond of calling other countries. Yet everything that has happened in the States... from rioting at the Capitol... to massive conspiracy theories about stolen elections bought by half the country... scream banana republic at the top of its lungs.
