But, in the United States the President, the DNC, the MSM, and Tech Giants want you to believe it’s normal for machines to take days, maybe weeks, to count the votes.

No machines
My experience and understanding is that ...
.. on election day the person takes the white polling card with their Name and Address and they visit their local polling station which they are required to vote. Mail in ballots exist of course but not usual practice.
The voter goes inside the hall and reports to the 6' tables with three people sitting behind them. Poll workers take the voters person's name and verify their address against the registered voter role issued by the council. The name and address of the person is then crossed out in pen with a ruler on that register.
The first pollworker then reads out their voter number, which is logged by the second person and then a third person hands a voting paper from a large pad which the voter takes and goes into a booth to place the X (in pencil but now people do it in biro).
The voter then posts their vote into a locked post box which is then filled with others and goes to a central counting facility. Polls close at 10pm, results start coming through the next morning from 2.30am, votes hand counted on the night - results the next morning.
No machines. I think there is fuckwittage but not on the scale of the US. Nigel Farage's old constituency especially where his district ballot boxes 'went missing'.
