My election system would keep polls open to 11pm everywhere locally and embargo reporting results anywhere until HI was done.

Every polling place would be required to use the same ballot mechanism, provided by the federal government if necessary.

I'd also figure out a secure way to vote online, in addition to other methods of voting. -- nm - znufrii Nov 3, 10:22
It is impossible to enbargo reporting if you begin the counts when polls close locally. Would you wait for Hawaii before counting? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 10:18 6
- I don't understand the impossible here. It simply wouldn't be allowed, and there would be no piecemeal reporting. All districts simultaneously. - Max Nov 3, 10:22 5
  - This is what I'm clarifying though. If you start the count, campaign teams will know due to scrutineers. Once teams know, the internet will know. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 10:30 4
    - So? -- nm - China Nov 3, 10:33
    - Oh, there will be no party scrutineers. The parties will get the info the same time the public does. - Max Nov 3, 10:32 2
      - You don't feel that someone should get to watch the count that is so very important to them? - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 10:35 1
        
        Do they get to observe and publish census taking? Tax returns? Intel reports? No. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 10:38
I would enlist Google's satellites so we can do a simple show of hands. -- nm - Candidate Vermin Nov 3, 10:15 2

Polls should be open 72 hours straight, same time everywhere, all ballots must be papper that can be recounted -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 10:14
