Why don't we have a final count of ballots in some states? No state has ever counted all of its ballots on election night.

The disinformation war is kicking into high gear. Candidates who perceive they are going to lose, aided by election deniers — and even some members of Congress — are falsely claiming that some states (conveniently always ones that align with their political views) are long since finished with counting or raising suspicion about counting delays.
These claims are inaccurate, and as importantly, they are potentially dangerous.
These are the facts. No state, in the history of the United States, has counted all of its ballots on "Election Night." In fact, our Constitution and state laws have always recognized that it takes days or weeks to count all of the ballots.
