They're counting votes. It's not mysterious.
// For instance it is now being queried as to why Wisconsin counted more votes than there were registered voters ... //
Easy to answer this one: voter registration figures don't take into account on-the-day registration, which is perfectly legal in at least 20 states.

I'd like to propose an alternative narrative: Trump undermines his own party's efforts to drum up the postal vote by claiming, without any evidence whatsoever, that it is fraudulent. Trump also fails to take meaningful action to halt or limit the spread of Covid-19, resulting in many states turning to mail-in voting. The result is pretty clear: Trump's supporters turn up and vote on the day, whereas Biden's supporters vote primarily by mail. Postal votes take longer to count, especially in States where ballots are legal as long as they are postmarked by November 3rd. Result: a steady trickle of votes predominantly for Biden after the glut of in-person votes.
There is no mystery, no conspiracy, and no nonsense. Trump has, in fact, done phenomenally well, considering, to get as close as he did.

[yes something like that]
the quote requires count to have two meanings - tally up and be significant
French does - c'est le premier pas qui coute
I bet Itch knows if the russian verb does
Incredibly arabic ( hisaab) seems to, according to wehr

This is a lawyer in Michigan. But I don't trust lawyers ... do you?
//A Michigan lawyer who worked Tuesday’s election as a Republican poll watcher is alleging ballot-counting fraud in Detroit based on an interaction she had with an election worker at the site in Detroit where the city’s absentee ballots are being counted.
The lawyer filed the allegation on Thursday to support the Trump campaign’s lawsuit in Michigan, the Detroit Free-Press reported.
In the affidavit, Jessica Connarn, a member of the Michigan state bar from Bloomfield Hills, said a person counting absentee ballots in Detroit told her that workers were “changing the dates the ballots were received.”
“When I approached the poll worker, she stated to me that she was being told to change the date on ballots to reflect that the ballots were received on an earlier date,” Connarn says in the affidavit.
When Connarn tried to get additional information out of this poll worker, she was “yelled at by the other poll workers working at her table,” who then told her she needed to leave and stop talking to the poll worker.
Connarn was not the only poll watcher to get denied access to that particular polling center, as multiple poll watchers were denied access due to coronavirus restrictions, WDIV reported.
But Connarn was able to get a note out of the poll worker, which stated, “entered received date as 11/2/20 on 11/4/20.”//

Oops the Dems are now falling out with each other. It is looking very painful over there. Politico(a journalism organisation that is not of a right wing persuasion) reports thus not so long ago.
//In an electoral aftermath where they expected to be sitting smug and pretty, Democrats instead have devolved into fights and finger-pointing, pinning the blame on one another for the absence of a blue wave, screeching with fury.
That's the report from Politico, which quoted one Democrat lawmaker calling it "a dumpster fire."
Just 24 hours earlier, Democrats including Bustos and Speaker Nancy Pelosi were boasting about the opportunity to expand their majority, with some even predicting they could win as many as a dozen seats in the House by clawing back GOP territory in the suburbs of Texas, Ohio and Illinois.
But by Wednesday morning, party officials and the rank and file were in panic mode as they awaited the results of nearly 20 members of the Democrats’ historic freshman class that handed the party control of the House just two years ago. And already they were saying goodbye to at least a half-dozen of their centrist Democratic colleagues, who were stunned by GOP challengers on Tuesday, including Abby Finkenauer in Iowa and Donna Shalala in Florida.
So they all hate each other and are looking to finding one among them to blame. Some are calling for Nancy Pelosi's head. Others are questioning why Cheri Bustos, a top Democrat policymaker, is still in her job, especially since no one knows whether she won her re-election yet.//
Mental.
P.S. A dumpster is what we call a skip.

I certainly find it perplexing that the criminal mastermind Democrat party forgot to make sure they also won more seats in the House of Representatives and took control of the Senate. Now they won't have the ability to insert 30 liberal judges into the Supreme Court either. Ah, well. Better luck next time, conspirators!
Having worked as a counting clerk at our general election I could understand a recount if the numbers were out by a handful, but the system is such that they are counted in small bundles and checked off against the number of ballot papers issued so how they can demand a recount of thousands I just cannot see.
Just wading back to the recount question, states have various margins within which recounts may be demanded.
On the speed of the count, we are talking large amounts of votes here. And batches of votes outstanding which individually dwarf the totals in UK constituencies. When you also consider that there are multiple elections taking place (two houses and state governors) it’s impressive it’s as quick as it is.
