@brooklyndan @AP I doubt it. It’s a question of journalistic integrity. It’s estimated there may be 80 million mail ballots. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
@brooklyndan @AP I never said they did the counting. I said they *call* the state-by-state winners. And that call is often made long before the official count is done. Sometimes immediately. But, this year, in states where mail ballot counting is delayed, the networks won’t have the data. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
Question for political and legal nerds: is there a resource online that declares with certainty which states start processing absentee and/or mail ballots as they arrive, and which don’t start processing them until Election Day or some other fixed date? What’s the link? — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
6/ And, yes, I know there’s an official legal declaration of a winner weeks later and that the Electoral College really decides and might be disrupted in some way. But the election-night media calls have led to concession calls and victory speeches for decades. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
5/ In future elections, no state should delay counting mail ballots til after Election Day. They should be counted as they arrive so they’re part of the vote total released on Election Day. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
4/ The only exceptions might be states where huge blowouts for one candidate or the other are clear on November 3 from in-person voting and counted mail ballots, such that uncounted mail ballots couldn’t overturn the result even if they all went to the trailing candidate. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
3/ IMO, they should declare up front that it’s not possible to make accurate calls on Nov. 3. They could then do nightly live coverage for an hour or two each night thereafter until enough votes are counted to make correct win/lose calls. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
2/ Maybe the big green check marks should be held until enough mail votes are counted to be sure. That way, it’ll be harder for a candidate to claim victory on election night, only to have the results reversed. Fraud charges,court cases, and even violence, might be less likely. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
1/ The major broadcast TV networks and the @AP - private companies to which we’ve handed the calling of our elections - must adopt a new approach this year because of the tsunami of mail ballots that won’t be counted til after Election Day. https://t.co/OzOoPp18Vx — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump is of course free to refuse to do the next “debate” remotely. But what does that say to the millions of adults and children who’ve been struggling to do *their* jobs and schoolwork that way, to protect all of us? https://t.co/RGpYiVRzvJ — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been a decent morning so far. I learned there may not be a 2nd presidential “debate”. I got a flu shot in a deserted doctor’s office instead of a crowded drugstore. And this box 👇arrived. https://t.co/3vrxCQhOEE — PolitiTweet.org

Those plexiglass panels are way too puny to block COVID contagion. The debaters are on a split screen. Why couldn’t they have been in separate rooms? Or separate cities? It’s not like they’re going to shake hands. — PolitiTweet.org

The @NewsLitProject’s new podcast “Is that a fact?” was lucky to host the great @karaswisher, my old friend and business partner. It made for a great episode with host @darworland. I highly recommend it. https://t.co/SnRo17vYK9 — PolitiTweet.org

In many states, the election is already underway - by mail or in person via early voting. Please vote as soon as possible to help local officials do timely counting. This site, https://t.co/e1TdjOiAeB, is packed with information about voting in all states. https://t.co/j0O7RgZ5qy — PolitiTweet.org

@TonyJewell I am merely repeating the near-universal scientific and medical advice. I’m not making up my own. — PolitiTweet.org
Walt Mossberg @waltmossberg
Yes, be afraid of COVID, regardless of your age. Yes, wear a mask. Yes, practice social distancing. Doing these things protects ALL of us. Do NOT listen to advice on this from anyone without scientific or medical credentials, especially politicians and habitual liars. https://t.co/rgFhHaeJXJ — PolitiTweet.org

@Vegastechhead So...we need a Congress and President willing to pass a law specifically barring health insurers from denying policies to people with Pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org
