Understanding the Timeline for U.S. Presidential Election Results
TL;DR Summary
Americans may not know the winner of the presidential election on Election Night due to varying state vote-counting laws and procedures. In 2020, states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada took days to finalize results, leading to a "red mirage" where early results favored Trump before Biden overtook him. This year, similar delays are expected, with states like Georgia and Michigan potentially speeding up their processes, while others like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin may still face delays due to when they can start counting absentee ballots.
