Trump pushes for instant election results as voting day approaches

Donald Trump is pushing hard about tomorrows election results timing - he wants officials to name the winner right when polling stations close (which is way before vote-counting ends)

Back in the election about 4 years ago Trump made a similar move: he announced his win super-early in the morning while votes were still being counted; his loyal followers started yelling “stop the count!“ everywhere. Since that time Trump and other right-wing folks have been saying things about election fraud that nobody proved‚ and they dont like how long it takes to count votes in america

The whole situation shows how some politicians want quick results instead of careful vote-counting - which is just not how the system works (it needs time to process all ballots properly). The early declaration idea brings up memories from last time: when Trump made that 3am victory speech while many states were still working through their ballot piles
