27. This ought to be happening now, preemptively,

before Rs get themselves & others all worked up & control the narrative.

Dems need to manage expectations, reminding/explaining the simple, and obvious logistics of counting millions of votes: It takes time to count each one. The more votes cast, the more time it takes to count them all.

And no one loses their right to have their vote counted just because a lot of other people's votes were counted first.

I mean, duh. But so many people just dont think logically. Trump Cult members can't be made to, but most Americans can understand such a simple idea if they hear it before they start believing the RW BS.
