Does he not realize that counting ballots actually takes time?

... I've always wondered why in all the democratic world it is only Democrat inner-city US counties that take forever to count their vote?

... they have more people so should be able to count faster ... or? are they stupider? why do they always delay their vote count? do you not find that strange?

Nope. I don't find that strange.

Inner cities tend to have more people who lean democratic because they tend to be of traditionally underrepresented groups - and accordingly conclude that there could be a purpose for government in their interest to protect them from some of the extremes of rich-person focused politics that tend to be the direction of republican representatives.

Furthermore, republicans tend to target these kinds of inner-city areas in a variety of ways to cause more encumbrances on them - not only in terms of attempting to suppress the vote, but also in terms of causing more and more difficult to actually count votes that had actually been cast.

The myth of corruption in counting votes tends to be overplayed, and there have been a lot of evidence that corruption in vote counting tends to come from black box voting dynamics from the various inauditable machines and things like that, and maybe in recent times there has been some more attempts to cause more audit-ability, by causing those counts to be more accountable to actual votes.

Greg Palast (and sure, there are others, too) has been investing the various forms of black box cheating dynamics since at least around the 2000 election time-frame.

the question asked now is the vote result gonna effect bitcoin price or not , we all see that the price moved up due the vote but what if trump lost ? hmm

Chances are that the Democrats will be printing out much more dollars during a Biden presidency than a Trump one. From that perspective, it could just make things even more attractive for cryptos as an alternative store of value...

If you had not noticed a pattern that has gone on since about the time that Clinton (Bill) got into office. There had been gross overspending and sending of moneys to republican buddies (kind of trickle down aspirations) then when the democrat gets into office, there are pushes towards tightening up the belt.. so then by the time the next republican gets back in, then they can go crazy again... that happened for clinton and for obama and likely to happen for biden, too.. Sure, democrats have tended to get beat up by republicans so many times because they tend to try to play nice.. and republicans tend to take advantage of such niceness and engage in ruthlessness irresponsibility when they are in power... and surely how does all the craziness end with more and more craziness in the money printing arena.. and perhaps this time, the democrats will try to continue with printing of money --- which seems irresponsible at this time, but the available solutions do not look good - especially when there is a likely a need to bring back production to the USA in a variety of ways, which could be helpful if it could actually happen.. but I have my doubts, too..

Bitcoin seems to be responding well to Trump losing. Probably bc Trump openly stated he wasnt a fan and it was backed by nothing and that he told his Treasury Secretary to "go after Bitcoin."

Also his top economic advisor Larry Kudlow dislikes Bitcoin. I believe the market is signaling that Biden will be friendlier to our Lord and Savior King Bitcoin.

Also it seems to be bullish for assets when the media is too preoccupied with Trump being a sore loser to promote their coronasniffles hype and try to scare everyone non stop about a disease not much deadlier than the flu.

Actually, it is likely that the potential policies of Trump (to the extent that you could refer to them as policies) would be more friendly to bitcoin, but the fact of the matter seems to be that bitcoin does not give any shits about the president, including whether a Biden administration (to the extent that he is lucid at all) might be more hostile to bitcoin than the red headed self-absorbed twat... by the way, Lambie.. you would likely get along better with Trump, no? Both of you seem to have strong exaggeration inclinations, no?
