Responses:

Semi-related - why are the British so slow with their election results? Polls closed 7 hours ago but fewer than half the seats have been called -- nm - Roger More May 7, 20:42 5
- I know this answer! The law requires hand-counting of ballots. Still. To this day. -- nm - ReluctantCynic May 7, 20:45 4
  - That's not the reason - Australia has hand-counted ballots (in fact twice as many, as we elect both houses) but we would have most seats declared - Roger More May 7, 20:49
  - it does here too and we get things done in 3-4 hours, tops. -- nm - Reagen May 7, 20:48 2
    - Is it the gathering of candidates and not announcing until results are official vs. declared? (IDK, not watching closely.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 7, 22:38 1
      - Australia's election need explains - counting isn't done at the polling station, but at a central location, so transport and verification takes time. - Roger More May 8, 04:23
