This, hot damn. Indonesia tabulates its paper-ballot-only votes by hand (no machines involved at all) and even though it takes forever for the official electoral authority to formally announce the results, 'quick counts' based on data from the polling precincts at the end of election day have always been enough to make it obvious who won. Even Brazil at least managed its fraud operation in a day, not an entire week.

Voting machines were introduced with the promise of making elections smoother and more efficient, but America never had election week before they entered the scene. Same as mail-in ballots and other such bullshit, even the fraud-ridden 1960 election was (like Brazil) done in a day and Nixon conceded the next afternoon, and this isn't even discounting how Katie Hobbs is overseeing the count in her own election. American democracy is undeniably fake and gay.
