President Donald Trump urged governors to modify election laws, promoting false claims about voting procedures, including the notion of quick results. He suggested that voter ID laws and proof of citizenship would lead to immediate election results. However, experts clarify that most voters already use paper ballots, and only U.S. citizens can vote. The U.S. has a complex election certification process; results take time to ensure accuracy, contrasting Trump's misstatements which have led to threats against election workers. This misrepresentation of the electoral system undermines the legitimacy of voting procedures in the country.
Trump's assertions imply that new voting laws would guarantee results by 10 p.m., ignoring established electoral processes and the time required for accurate counting.
Election results are certified over weeks, not on election night, highlighting the complex nature of U.S. voting systems and the inaccuracies in Trump's claims.
