In my country (Korea) they broadcast vote counts, per district, in real time as data pours in from all over the country. It's a big entertainment going on for the whole night. And you can log onto the website of the office of the election commission and see raw numbers by each voting district.

It's 2024; I'd consider it a minimum level of government competency if anyone wants to be called a democratic country.

I understand why it's necessary for Koreans but in America, our citizens have an unprecedented level of honesty that makes this unnecessary. It takes multiple days for us to count because we have more people, and we don't require IDs like in South Korea because it places an undue burden on people who don't drive, drink, or watch R-rated movies at the theater.

I don't see anything transparently wrong with the Venezuelan election and it's anti-democratic to delegitimate the millions of citizens who voted for Maduro without sure proof.

This process led to a lot of controversy in the 2020 US Presidential election.
