It takes time - we wouldn't know who was elected president until several days after the election was over.

I tried to write that in a neutral tone. However you might find it as amusing as me to read it (with required word changes) in different dialects. I think the stereotypical "valley girl" best captures how I feel about it.

That doesn't seem like much of an issue to me when the alternative is nobody trusts the results.
To you. But it is a big deal some someone else. Your task is to figure out who, and why. (why tends to be obvious once you realize who)
Why are you speaking in riddles?
there is more than one correct answer.

I come up with the news media who need to excitement of the vote to not wane.
