Officials had warned before election day that we might have to wait days or even weeks for the presidential result this year because of the surge in postal ballots.

and having skimmed the rest of the article, dazzlenation....well, they're going to have to police the post offices, aren't they?....let me see....an independent branch of the federal etc etc and yes, i didn't read that quite correctly but you know what i mean....very careful wording going on there, in the wiki entry....hmmm...that is a difficult one, isn't it?...if only because rimington had been MI5...and 'federal' tends to mean FBI in my book....'trust no one' etc etc.....lol....americans are far more trusting than the british, aren't they - dazzlenation?....see previous notes upon the surprise expressed by americans-in-the-UK recently - at the basic lack of trust expressed by most of the UK population, regarding their political leaders...whatever their political persuasion...."they're all as bad as each other"...."nothing ever changes, does it"...."don't vote it only encourages them"....etc etc....go figure:
