Yes but with that sort of primitive technology you have to wait until AFTER the election to know who won!

I never saw the rush. You USA'ians vote on 4 November, and Inauguration is not until January 20. Can't you afford to spend a day or two on getting the results right rather than fast?

I think the grandparent comment was meant humorously.

Akin to how in Chicago we say, "Vote early, and vote often!"

It was. But even with "waiting until after the election to know who won" you want to know who won by breakfast the next day. Would anything actually go wrong if you waited a day or three?
