Yes, sometimes takes even longer.

 It didn't used to. Seems like the more we advance technologically, the harder
it is to have an election.

You and I both know states like California do this for a reason - they count all the "legitimate votes", see what gap they need to overcome, and then magically find enough "provisional ballots" for the Dems to "magically win" at the last second.
They've been doing this since at least the 1980s. They stole the Minn. Senate seat (Franken's) that way. They are trying this years Penn. Senate seat that way, but it looks like they're going to fail. And it looks like they're going to steal an Orange County U.S. House seat this way.
The difference is this system is clearly institutionalized in Calif. - so they count for weeks (on purpose) which allows them to figure out how many ballots they need to find.
And, yes, to be clear - I am saying I have *zero* confidence in the "integrity" of California's election system. I don't have confidence in a number of other state's systems as well, but I don't trust *any* of the western states election systems, esp. California's.
