  • Us is a big country and when we formed it could take days to get from states to the capitol. Legislators and leaders might be away from home for a year or more and needed to get their home situated.

    So there is a lot of time between elections and assuming office in national positions. Results had to go from state to national, get certified, return the results, get your house in order, travel to DC, hire staff, and arrange housing (if congress).

    It’s also why 200 years ago the electoral college made sense. There wasn’t time to hold runoff elections. These days with fast information and travel it’s a garbage legacy system.
