They are trying to tap into the public's impatience.
They themselves don't give a shit about the waiting.
The reason they don't want it slow is because they don't want it done well. They want the results to be challengeable. They want us to lose faith in the democratic process.

It’s that the votes are counted that’s the problem.
It’s like actually having to deliver goods and services to a reasonable standard after you’ve been paid.

It's doubly stupid because we get a good preliminary count within about 4 hours of the polls closing. Usually that's going to give us the info we need. We can wait for the precise details.
And if it's so close that the preliminary results are ambiguous, then we should absolutely take our time!

Nope, its a lot lot worse. As per @mountaintui.bsky.social mountaintui.substack.com/p/did-nicola...
Did Nicola Willis just appoint Atlas Network connections to her surprise RBNZ Covid Inquiry?
Willis launches a surprise Covid inquiry with results to come out 6 weeks before the election. Most NZ publications noted her hiring of "independent" experts. I looked further into it.
