live election updates, which i am very addicted to as well, are a perfect encapsulation of how the 24 hour news cycle breaks your brain.
if we just counted the votes and then announced the victor people wouldn't feel cheated. well, not as cheated.
This is one reason I get so mad at media coverage of elections that treats them like sporting events. The whole "pulled ahead" type language gives the conspiracy theorists someting to seize upon.

R: They're just counting the ballots
SCALISE: Look, whether you can prove fraud or not, it does undermine voter integrity in the vote
