Nevada has paused vote counting until Thursday morning. A water pipe burst at State Farm Arena in Georgia, halting absentee ballot tabulation. Allegheny, Pittsburgh, and other counties in Pennsylvania have also stopped counting for the night. Fulton County in Georgia will resume counting in the morning. Election workers will return to counting mail-in ballots in the morning. Nevada has also stopped counting votes. Translation: Nevada and Pennsylvania have temporarily stopped counting votes. A water pipe issue in Georgia caused a pause in absentee ballot tabulation. Several counties in Pennsylvania and Fulton County in Georgia have also halted counting for the night. Workers will resume counting in the morning.

The speaker discusses the requirement to respond to ballot applications within 24 hours in Michigan. They mention seeing applications from June, July, and August being processed in September, estimating about 100,000 false documents were created over 10 days. The supervisor would announce the date to be used for processing publicly.

In Arizona, results will take about 10 to 13 days to process, as the focus is on accuracy rather than speed. While networks may make predictions sooner, official results will be reliable when they are announced. In Pennsylvania, results are delayed because counties can only start processing mail-in ballots at 7 AM on election day. However, improvements in equipment and experience since 2020, along with a decrease in mail-in voting, may help expedite the process. Ultimately, the timing of results depends on the closeness of the election.

Polls have closed, and local election officials in Pennsylvania, along with trained volunteers, are counting the votes. Results will be reported to the Department of State and posted live at electionreturns.pa.gov. It's important to reassure everyone that every legal vote will be counted accurately, and the will of the people will be respected. Patience is requested from Pennsylvanians and the media, as counting millions of votes takes time. The speed at which news organizations call elections depends on the closeness of the races; tighter races require more time to ensure every eligible vote is accurately counted.

The speaker asks who determined the number of failed signatures in the 2020 election. Speaker 1 explains that their organization reviewed a quarter of the 1,900,000 envelopes from the election using 150 trained workers. They followed the guidelines in the secretary of state manual and analyzed each voter record individually. The statistics from the first 25% of the ballots were extrapolated to determine the final number, which is specific to Maricopa County. Speaker 0 acknowledges that Maricopa County alone had over 2 million ballots, with about 1.9 million of them being mail-in ballots. Speaker 1 confirms this and the conversation continues.

In the Philadelphia Board of Elections, mail-in ballots were processed without any civilian oversight or observation. The ballots were handled in a large room called Hall F, with a fence separating the observers from the workers. The workers were spread out across the room, making it difficult for the observers to see what they were doing. There was no opportunity for the observers to challenge or inspect the mail-in ballots. This lack of oversight is a recurring issue.

In 2020, Michigan had unofficial results from its highest turnout election within 24 hours of polls closing, completed by 8 PM Wednesday. This year, with more options to reprocess ballots before election day, results could potentially come even sooner. The best estimate for result completion is still the end of the day on Wednesday. Accuracy and security will be prioritized over efficiency. The goal is to balance the public's desire for quick results with ensuring a secure and accurate process.

100% of votes in Georgia will be cast on security paper with the state seal. Nationwide, over 96% of all voting will be on paper ballots. President Trump implied that delayed vote tabulation indicates something nefarious, citing France's move to paper ballots due to the US system's alleged failure. Georgia's SB 189 mandates that all early votes and early accepted ballots must have their results reported by 8 PM, potentially accounting for 70-75% of the total vote count on election night. The remaining votes to be counted after that time will be overseas ballots that come in no later than Friday. The goal is to have fast, accurate, and secure elections.

However, accuracy and security will be prioritized over efficiency. While understanding the public's desire for quick results, the process will remain secure and accurate before any information is released.

In the exchange, concerns are raised about mail-in ballots in Allegheny and Philadelphia counties and how they were counted. Speaker 0 notes that ballots were counted without observers, citing 682,770 ballots observed and asking about the 1,823,148 mailed-out ballots, contrasted with a final count showing 2,589,242 mail-in ballots. The core question is: what explains the roughly 700,000 mail-in ballots that “appeared from nowhere”? Speaker 1 responds that their cyber team uses white-hat hacking techniques to gather publicly available information from the secretary of state’s website, which has been updated as late as 11:16 this morning with provisional and mail-in ballots, though those numbers continue to change. He adds that the 2,500,000 figure is no longer on the website, and it has “just been taken off.” There is no annotation explaining why. Speaker 2 then describes an on-the-ground observation: a deputy sheriff, a senior law enforcement officer, was seen not being observed and walking in with baggies, with USBs being inserted into machines. The witness claims to have personally witnessed this 24 times, with additional witnesses including Democrat poll watchers. They were told by an attorney that every election leaves a couple of USB cards in the voting machines to be brought back by the warehouse manager, but this account is contradicted by law enforcement and other officials. The witness states that 47 USB cards are missing and “they’re nowhere to be found,” and that 32 to 30 cards uploaded were not present in the live vote update. The witness demanded timely live upload of vote results, which showed 50,000 votes; they assert those votes were for Vice President Biden, though they note that identifying who those votes were for should not matter to a computer scientist. Speaker 1 emphasizes that forensic evidence from the computers was not obtained: the procedure would involve turning off the computer, imaging the drive with BitLocker, under law enforcement observation, which would take about an hour for five machines. This forensic imaging was never performed, despite objections three weeks earlier. They later learned that virtually all chain-of-custody logs, yellow sheets, and forensic records in Delaware County were gone; a signing party attempted to recreate the logs with poll workers but was unsuccessful in recovering them all. The discussion concludes with a claim that there are 100,000 to 120,000 ballots, both mail-in and USB, in question, and that there is no remedy or “cure” within the local charter for certifying a presidential vote, leaving the speaker asserting that nobody could certify the vote in good conscience.

Unobserved ballots in Allegheny County and Philadelphia raised questions about 700,000 mail-in ballots. A cyber team used public data from the Secretary of State's website, which was updated regularly. The 2.5 million ballot count post-election is now missing from the site without explanation.

- The discussion centers on ballot processing in Maricopa County, with several shipments arriving after the initial belief that counting was near completion. Speaker 0 notes that the Wednesday before the Friday they quit voting, and ten days before they quit tabulating, more truckloads of ballots came in, leading to the question: “how can you not know how many ballots are still out there?” - Speaker 1 asks for clarification: “They thought they were done.” The conversation confirms multiple times that those running the counting rooms believed they were almost done, or would be done, on Wednesday morning, then Thursday morning, then Friday morning, and the process extended into the next week. - Trucks bringing ballots arrived on the third, fourth, and fifth days, continuing throughout the last week. The last day mentioned is the tenth, with ballots still arriving. The company involved is Runback, described as doing high-speed scanning and printing of duplications and military ballots. There was no observer presence at Runback, and Speaker 0 indicates she had not been called to work there; she does not know exactly what Runback was doing (printing vs. scanning). - It is stated that all high-speed scanning occurs at Runback, and the ballots go to Runback. There is uncertainty about off-site scanning and whether Dominion equipment was involved. Speaker 0 clarifies: “They were duplications, the ballots that wouldn’t read through the tabulation machines. They were ballots that came in from military and overseas.” The number of additional sources for ballots beyond military/overseas is unknown, and Speaker 0 suggests this is a question for county employees to explain. - About the counting process: Speaker 0 confirms that the ballots went through tabulation machines and that adjudication work took place for those late arrivals. They observed the ballots being processed, but did not know the exact totals for certain days. - Daily volumes are described. Speaker 0 estimates: one day a shift might handle 90,000 ballots, and some days had similar volumes across three shifts; other days had fewer. There were days when as few as 15,000 ballots were processed. The “back door” arrivals are contrasted with the front door, with Speaker 0 noting that all back door ballots were received through back entries, not the front door. The remaining ballots in the latter part of the period continued to come in and be tabulated, with ongoing full-time shifts through the eighth, ninth, and tenth days. - The episode concludes with Speaker 1 seeking further explanation, and Speaker 0 indicating that some of the details were not fully known and that a county employee should clarify where the incoming ballots came from during the latter part of the period.

It always takes a long time to count ballots, but in previous elections, large margins allowed for earlier calls. Margins are likely to be tight this time, so we might need to wait a few days in states like Georgia. Each state has different rules for counting, which can make the results look suspicious. The count doesn't unfold in a uniform manner; sometimes results come in batches. We run the most complicated elections in the world.

Approximately 1,400,000 ballot packets have been sent out, with around 27,000 currently undergoing the curing process. Curing involves contacting voters when their signatures do not match. So far, about 15,000 of these have been successfully cured. There is a deadline of five calendar days after election day to cure as many ballots as possible.

During the election, there were damaged mail-in ballots that couldn't be read by scanners. The board decided to duplicate these ballots using pink highlighters. However, the highlighter couldn't be read by the scanners either, so all the duplicated ballots had to be fixed. The solution was to give workers stacks of blank mail-in ballots to individually fill in the correct ovals with a dark pen. This process went on for hours without observation until the observers confronted the deputy commissioner. Eventually, thousands of mail-in ballots were counted this way. This raises concerns about the integrity of the process.

Tomorrow night in Maricopa County may be lengthy due to an unusually long ballot. The ballot is two pages, double-sided, with an average of 79 contests—twice as long as usual. This is causing delays in processing early mail-in ballots, potentially impacting the speed of results after polls close. While early results will be reported, they will only be a partial count as officials work around the clock to catch up. Additionally, the lengthy ballot could lead to longer lines on election day, with some voters already reporting waits of about an hour. Concerns about the ease of voting have been raised, emphasizing the need for a reevaluation of the voting process to make it more accessible.

The speakers discuss the flow of ballots and the involvement of a company called Runback. Trucks delivering ballots arrived on the third, then the fourth, and the fifth, continuing for days. The last day of the speaker’s involvement was the tenth, and trucks were still coming in. The ballots were coming from Runback, a company that does high‑speed scanning and printing of duplications, and the speaker mentions military ballots being produced or processed by Runback, though there is uncertainty about exactly what Runback was doing. When asked whether the ballots were printed or scanned off-site, the speaker is unsure. It is stated that all the high‑speed scanning occurs at Runback, and that those ballots go to Runback. There were no observers at Runback, and the speaker had not been called to work there. The question is raised about whether the scanning was done on-site at the Maricopa County structure, but the response indicates that scanning was not on-site and occurred at Runback where there are very high‑speed scanners. The question of whether Dominion equipment was involved is addressed: the ballots being scanned were not related to Dominion. The purpose of scanning the ballots in advance of tabulation on Dominion equipment is then explained: they were duplications of ballots that would not read through the tabulation machines, specifically ballots that came in from military and overseas. However, the speaker notes there were more ballots than just those, with trays of ballots being brought in, and uncertainty remains about where the rest were coming from. The speaker suggests that the remaining questions about the sources of these ballots should be answered by the county employees. In summary, the discussion centers on: a sequence of ballot deliveries over several days; Runback handling high‑speed scanning and duplications off-site; uncertainty about whether ballots were printed or scanned and by whom; the absence of observers at Runback; scanners used were not Dominion; the purpose of off-site scanning was to duplicate ballots that wouldn’t read through the tabulation machines, including military and overseas ballots; and unresolved questions about the origin of additional ballots, which require explanation from county staff. The exchange ends with a note that the remaining questions about the ballots’ origins are for the county employees to explain.

In Pennsylvania, we ensure safe, secure, and accurate elections through multiple layers of verification. Every vote has a paper record, secured and tracked under strict chain of custody. Ballots are preserved for almost two years. Local officials verify absentee and mail-in ballots, ensuring they are signed, registered, and received on time. Our ballot counting machines meet federal security standards and are regularly tested with bipartisan observers. Bipartisan poll watchers oversee the counting process, and ballots are counted by local workers. We certify election results through a careful process. Election workers confirm that each eligible voter has voted only once. Counties finalize their counts and deliver results to the state. State officials tally these votes and certify the final statewide results, backed by maintained paper records. State courts handle challenges, and automatic recounts occur in close elections. The Department of State oversees this process, typically certifying final results after the third Monday post-election.

I agree that the media is prepared to understand this election cycle, particularly the timeline, due to the high number of mail-in ballots. States like Pennsylvania, which are key to the outcome, may not start counting these ballots until election day. Therefore, the election result may not be immediately known, and that's acceptable. Declaring a winner before all legitimate votes are counted would be unacceptable. The National Task Force on Election Crises has been working to promote this understanding. When Mary and I started this group in June 2019, we anticipated issues such as a president declaring premature victory, foreign disinformation, and cyber vulnerabilities. While we initially set aside the possibility of a pandemic, we reintroduced it in 2020. This group has been educating media, labor unions, and companies to responsibly manage expectations.

The message is to please be patient as Pennsylvania counties work to count votes quickly and with integrity. The goal is to provide the truth to voters. It takes time to count millions of votes. Pennsylvania is reportedly much better prepared today than they were four years ago. Secretary Schmidt is answering questions about the electoral process. He has teamed up with former Pennsylvania governor Tom Corbett.

Counting of absentee ballots in several counties has been temporarily halted. In Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, they paused overnight and resumed in the morning. Fulton County, Georgia, stopped counting at 10:30 PM and will continue tomorrow. Nevada also stopped counting until 9 AM on Thursday. The reason for the pause in Nevada is unclear. Additionally, there was a water pipe break at State Farm Arena in Georgia, where they were counting absentee ballots, causing a halt in tabulation.

In Pennsylvania, results may take 2 to 3 days, which is unacceptable. France counts votes quickly with paper ballots, while here, some states may take longer to certify results. Despite having a substantial lead and more Republican votes, the declaration of victory remains uncertain. A special group will gather at Mar-a-Lago, and a larger crowd at the convention center, anticipating a win. The campaign focused on strong border policies and legal immigration, which are seen as critical issues, alongside inflation. There’s a concern about criminals and drug dealers entering the country, emphasizing the need for secure borders. Voter sentiment appears to reflect these priorities.

In the upcoming election, 100% of votes in Georgia will be recorded on security paper with the state seal. President Trump implied that delayed vote tabulation indicates potential wrongdoing, citing a lack of paper ballots as a problem and claiming results could take 7 days. However, over 96% of voting nationwide will be on paper ballots. In Georgia, a new law (SB 189) mandates that results for all early votes and early accepted ballots, potentially 70-75% of the total, be reported by 8 PM on election night. The remaining delay involves overseas ballots, with final numbers expected by Friday. Georgia aims to ensure fast, accurate, and secure elections.

50,000 ballots will be released in the next 9 minutes, followed by 37,000 tomorrow. There appears to be some ballots arriving now, as seen with a police escort and two vans. Election workers in Philadelphia are processing the ballots, fulfilling their civic duty. We anticipate the release of information about the additional 50,000 ballots shortly, with another update expected tomorrow morning.

In 2020, Michigan had results from its highest turnout election within 24 hours, with unofficial results completed by 8 PM on Wednesday. This year, with more options to reprocess ballots sooner than election day, officials are optimistic results could come even sooner. The best estimate for result completion is still the end of the day on Wednesday. Accuracy and security will be prioritized over efficiency. While understanding the public's desire for quick results, the process will remain secure and accurate before any information is released. Officials will work to ensure results are ready as soon as possible.
