Watching the US election

[Nimos]

Just casually watching the US election and they are as expected doing a lot of interviews by the Danish media etc.

However have always wondered given the time we live in, that the interviews very often have poor quality, not in regards to questions etc. but like the sound cracks, the image is bad and laggy etc.

I am just wondering if it's the same in other countries?

Maybe I'm just naive but with all the technologies we have in the world today and obviously US and Denmark are well-developed countries and these are huge media companies doing these types of interviews all the time, I could understand if they had issues 1-2% of the time, but it seems more like 20-40% or something. Just find it weird that this doesn't seem to have improved a whole lot over the years.

No, we have many media, excellent coverage; before, through or after; two-hourly reports from our Election Commission, covering the farthest of voting booths, whether at 15,000 feet up in Himalayas or isolated islands of Laccadive (Laksha Dweep) in Arabian sea, excellent over-seeing of the process by security forces. Two states up for elections on 20th November - Maharashtra (pop. 129 million) and Jharkhand (40 million). Universal franchise (one person, one vote), all done very smoothly with electronic voting machines.
US electoral college system is very surprising for us.

I know of at least two polling stations which are set up for just one voter. One in Gujarat lion forest and the other in far east bordering China. The arrangements are the same. Video, security, every thing. For the Arunachal Pradesh, polling teams trek for four days to reach the out-post.
