US Inability to Count Votes is a National Disgrace. And Dangerous.

At the very least, the states that are still counting should be forced to update their voting procedures.

It's not a failure of their voting procedures. 

These are states where the election is incredibly close. I'm counting 17 other states that have been called where they still have only 66%-95% of the votes counted. The remaining are all 96-99%, much like PA and GA. The difference is those states are not close so the rest of the results will not change it. None of these states will be 100% until next week and that's how it always goes. 

As I mentioned in my first post in this thread, what you're seeing is the result of the dynamics of using winner take all and the Electoral College combined with a pandemic that required a higher than usual number of mail ballots, which take longer to count when your system is not set up to rely on such a large number of them. Furthermore, outside challenges to hurt the mail delivery of those ballots causes even more delays.
