I've been saying for years that there should be paper ballots for all, and if it takes a month to count them all, SO WHAT!

If they declared Biden the winner on election night Trump would cry "it's too early, make sure all the votes are counted before declaring a winner!" You know he would. It'll take however long it takes, and no one should be declared the winner untill all the votes are counted.
