Elections Canada is getting lots of love these days from people who appreciate our old school procedure.
They still use the old lead pencil on a paper ballot system. Voting stations are set up with a folding card table and a cardboard divider on top to give the minimal privacy required for civilized people.

Unbelievable how a progressive country like the US can have so many various systems. A federal election should use the same procedures coast to coast.

Oh yeah....we know by the time we go to bed on election night who is the winner. This in a larger country than the US and with a fraction of the resources.

I agree. We use paper ballots here in Maryland, and once the ballot is
marked by the voter, it is fed into a scanner. The paper ballots are
saved. We have simple voting stations, too.

I also agree that the voting rules for federal elections should be
uniform throughout the country. Early voting should be available at
convenient governmental sites beginning a month before the election, and
mail-in ballots should be acceptable so long as they are postmarked
before or on the day of election and are received within a week of the
election or maybe 10 days for overseas military voters.

Pencils with erasers. What could go wrong there.

Good news. Our Canadian friend finally escaped, picked up his new bus, and
is settling in for a warm Florida winter. I wonder if he will risk being
held hostage in Canuckistan next summer.

He's going to spend the winter in Florida living in a bus? I thought
that went out with the Flower People.

No erasers on those pencils. We don't tend to make many mistakes.

No worries. They'll fix your mistakes when they count the votes

You have trees, potatoes, and fish and wildlife. What more do you need?

That is basically the same voting system we have in Florida but it
needs to be a permanent mark, not a pencil.
The problem that is slowing down the count is those democrat states
who have to give their voters extra dispensation because they can't
follow simple directions and get their votes in time. Washington state
will still accept mail in ballots 20 days after the election and
California is 17.

I suppose you don't have mail in voting.

Florida had a final total before I went to bed on election night but
we were smart enough to count the mail in ballots as received and not
wait until the polls closed to start like some states.

Philadelphia is a typical union town. They stop counting every night
and start up the next day. That has a lot to do with why we still
don't know who won there.

The vote counters got erasures. Rubbers to you Canadian’s. Which may be
an appropriate term.
