The one thing anyone should've learned is that no one will ever truly know what will happen. So take nothing for granted.

[Ladywolf]

1 thing we learned….our votes still don’t count

[topchief]

As long as the power tripping continues, we didn’t learn anything. We’ve missed the whole point.

When i was a kid everyone voted throughout the day we'd watch the results at night we'd wake up and watch who won

[kevinferguson]

It's rigged don't trust none of it

[rizdog]

We learned that the election process in this country needs a complete overhaul.

[Mikebomo]

The one thing I learned, unrequested mail in ballots should be illegal

[guitarandmore]

We've learned that we need strict measures in place to allow only people with valid ID to vote once. Like FL. That had their count done the same night.

[griffin]

It is truly hard to believe that half of America could be this damn ignorant! 🤦‍♂️

[jolaharvel]

What we learned is that some people can't count past 10 without taking off their shoes. What is taking so long? It never used to be this way. This is day 5 and a state with only about 1 million in population still isn't done counting?

[jamesadkins]

What we’ve mostly learned is there are problems with our system. There is no way to justify taking so long to get results. So much incompetence.

[janetprice]

Free stuff beats integrity and common since .

[lalutte]

Need to go back to in person voting with voter ID required, results will be accurately tabulated within hours with no question as to where the ballots came from

[Kheti]

We’ve learned that if we want to ‘ Protect our Democracy’ that the Democrats claim is in danger, we need to get rid of ballot harvesting, mail in ballots, be required to show Voter I.D. before we vote and count the ballots the day of election, like Florida and so many other states did!

[primalamusica]

Democracy rocks! Women and America's young voters have been the adults in the room ! What a sigh of relief!

[brentharrington]

The fact is ~45% of voters don't pay federal income tax.

This is all you need to know.

[queazy]

That the longer it takes to count a votes, the more you can "find" just enough votes to beat a 50/50 split

[didimean]

One thing I learned is the system is broken beyond repair at this point . We need to rebuild from scratch - Get rid of all these career criminal Politicians, and shut down the pathetic fools in the Media. It will never happen though - and things are only going to get worse. How can anyone take any of this seriously anymore? Honestly.... it's all a joke.

[audiofool]

Give the Dems long enough and they will figure out a way to pull out a win. Get rid of unabated mail in votes and it will even up our elections

[bjdefilippo]

"Draw the districts differently, " an interesting way to describe gerrymandering?
