The second issue in the Orange-1 recount matter is timeliness.

It is now more than three months after the general election on November 8, 2016 and there is still no final decision in the election for the second representative from Orange-1. This much of a delay is highly unusual and not acceptable except in the most extraordinary circumstances.

It is conceivable that if there are significant problems in the election process that need to be understood and fixed, a substantial delay could be understood. Elections are important.

The issue: Do significant problems exist in this matter that warrant this extraordinary delay?
