“It didn’t need to take that long: What Pennsylvania’s election could have looked like with earlier counting “

Excellent Philly Inquirer, Jonathan Lai story with some good dataviz:

It’s impossible to know how events would have played out in an alternative world in which Pennsylvania counted enough ballots for Biden’s victory to be declared in the hours after voting ended. But it’s clear that the long vote count created a window for mis- and disinformation, with lies and false claims spreading quickly based on a flawed understanding of the counting process.
