I'm just wondering how Florida can count 12M votes in an hour but it takes Arizona 3 days and counting to count their votes.

Kari Lake Gains Ground in Arizona Senate Race, Remains Behind Gallego
Republican Kari Lake has gained ground in the race for a U.S. Senate seat representing Arizona but is still behind Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.).
Gallego was up 2.5 percent on Nov. 6. That lead shrank to 1.7 percent after a new batch of ballots was reported on Thursday.
Gallego now has 1.3 million votes to Lake’s 1.25 votes. The margin of 43,836 votes is down from Wednesday’s margin of 52,578 votes.
While vote counting in many states has been completed or is nearing completion following the Nov. 5 election, Arizona officials still have yet to process ballots from about a quarter of precincts.
“There are lawyers and trained observers monitoring tabulation of ballots, duplicating, and adjudication until we are done. I’m in constant touch with Kari’s lawyers and supporters about this and we are watching every ballot drop,” Harmeet Dhillon, a lawyer who leads an election integrity team for state and national Republicans, said on the social media platform X.
They are terrified of @KariLake taking the reins & pulling the hood back on the deep corruption inside the state of Arizona — its cartel connections inside the state gov’t, its dirty work w/ the feds around the open border. So the machine is trying to railroad her 2020-style. https://t.co/8jLJ7ro5yU

We have had over 1000 activists sign up to help cure ballots EVERY SINGLE DAY since Wednesday at 6am.
They have been trained and ready to take action. We have cured as many as possible the moment we receive data.
Sadly, some people in the GOP throughout the state are refusing…
