Of course there are no actual newspapers headlining any “ELECTION MESS,” just a few ultraideological publishers of fishwrap with pretensions of competence. Even Fox News and the WSJ accept reality.
The counting hasn’t been the problem. The counting has gone as it has always gone — pretty well. It is SOLELY the corrupt Trump people who refuse to acknowledge that the people of the USA voted against him. This corrupt administration is trying every dirty trick to subvert the will of the electorate. If that’s the kind of people you hitch your star to, then you truly have no morals.
Mr. Kelley, Mitt Romney (2012) and Donald Trump (2017) tried to DEFUND the Federal subsidy given to PBS, leading to the cries that “the GOP was trying to kill Big Bird”.
While defunding the subsidy would not have killed off Big Bird and Sesame Street, if the vote count were indeed handed over to the Count character on Sesame Street, it is not a wild stretch to imagine Donald Trump attacking him on Twitter as a “vindictive never-Trumper who can’t even count past 20”…
That’s what will happen on January 20, 2021. President Biden and VP Harris will turn to experts to assist in cleaning up the cesspit filled with Trump sycophants and hangers-on.
Actually, European observers were impressed with how well the election ran under such difficult circumstances, The reason it has taken so long to arrive at results are:
1) Some states Republican lead legislatures decided to mandate that mail in ballots be counted on election day. States that counted before then had results much earlier.2) States received ballots after Election Day – thanks to the Post Office that was hamstrung by Trump’s buddy.3) the old adage – you can have them done quickly or you can have them done right.
There is no mess. There is only the Trump campaign refusing to accept the obvious: that they lost. The same people who filled the streets to protest can also vote, and they tend not to vote for the person who tear-gassed them.
Trump said, “It is what it is”, meaning he didn’t take responsibility and didn’t plan to do anything. He’s asking himself, “What’s in it for me?” He couldn’t see the benefit in doing anything about the pandemic for him. Forget the hundreds of thousands getting sick and dying — what’s in it for him? He couldn’t bother to let others who wanted to do something, he even actively prevented others from doing something because he didn’t see anything in it for him. Yet, over 70 million of our fellow Americans voted for him! What does that say about us as a nation?
no integrity, no dignity, no morals, no concern for democracy, no concern for the country, no respect for the laws of this nation, no grasp on reality… Great job GOP … Not only is this your leader, this will be your base for the foreseeable future. Never call yourselves patriots again.

Maybe they should accept reality and move on.

I’ve seen it several times. Kelley’s right: It should be turned over to the experts. Preferably the ones who have been doing it already.

Like some of the other “conservative” cartoonists, SKELLEY ignored Veterans Day.

They already have experts, and the numbers show that trump LOST. Even the Count knows that. Maybe Kelley should as well.

It isn’t an “election mess,” it is trump having a tantrum and Republicans not accepting the will of the people and the Democratic process.

The election was not a mess, evidently it went well. The mess is with the president who does not think “rules” and “process” apply to him.

What mess? Recounts are normal part of close elections, no real indication of fraud (unless you count Giuliani)

That Count is far more of an expert at counting — and at what counts — than Trump.

Make Trump pay for the recounts. Oh, that’s right, he doesn’t pay his bills.

The only mess is the mental acuity of the red hats. Where are the republicans that called Hillary a sore loser?

The artist does a good job casting doubt on the American election when there is no doubt that Biden won. Russian propaganda does the same.
