With a slew of early voting in the US election this time around, it will be difficult to tell who is ahead in the preliminary results. It is estimated that twice as many votes by mail were cast this time as in the 2016 elections.
Each state has its own set of rules for when and how postal ballots will be counted. Therefore, you can get results from these states at different times, and sometimes this time interval can be too long. In some states, such as Florida and Arizona, vote-by-mail counting will begin before November 3, Election Day. But in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania they won’t be played before November 3. As a result, the voting results will be late from there.
Here are a few more complications. Vote-by-mail deadlines vary from state to state. In some states, like Georgia, votes that reach authorities before November 3 will be counted. But other states, like Ohio, will count the votes even if they vote there on the 3rd (that is, the envelope must be stamped on November 3rd).
We know this for sure, some states will take a few weeks to get full results. As a result, it is difficult to predict when the name of the next president of the United States will be officially announced.
This has not happened in previous elections. The results were found in 2008 at the predetermined time. And the 2012 results were found only 15 minutes after the scheduled time. It was a bit late in 2016. After winning in Pennsylvania, it was confirmed that Donald Trump would be the next president after defeating Hillary Clinton.
