  Yes, sometimes takes even longer.

Not to mention that one of the two US political parties is fighting to
_stop_ use of the advanced technologies for voting, wanting to force it
back to hand marked paper ballots that can only be counted by hand.

 But when we did it that way, we had elections completed within days, not
months.

The actual problem is "vote by mail" which is an idiotic system that no other country in the world uses.
And guess which political party is pushing that?... (Hint: It's the one that cheats.)
