"Cynicism" has been visible on social media and elsewhere. It is an attitude that may masquerade as wisdom, but instead is closed, negative and says, "No".

ON ELECTION DAY, this infographic helps voters "GIVE IT TIME"--by recognizing that election officials will have the approved time to count every verified in-person and mail-in/absentee vote!

However, because the pandemic has caused a great increase in Mail-in/Absentee Ballots, elected officials will have three additional days to process the Mail-in/Absentee Ballots.
