Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
Elections are held all year long somewhere in the world. People don’t even pay attention to them. But the entire world closely follows the American presidential elections that are held every four years. This time, November 5 is the date on which the American people will decide which way the balance tips between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
Many people think that the results will arrive the same day, but that is not the case. Even after the vote, it may take a few days to decide who will be the president of the United States. Since American elections are conducted by ballot, it may initially appear that one candidate is in the lead, but things can reverse as the vote count progresses.
You will say, what’s new is this? These changes continue to occur as they are counted. But not. The situation in the United States is a bit unique.
Regarding the 2020 presidential elections, some states that on voting night gave Trump a direct advantage in the count, in the next few hours leaned in favor of Biden. Trump later even called it election fraud, but the allegation was not proven true.
Why is there a delay in the results?
First – Supporters of the Democrats (Kamala Harris’s party) mostly live in densely populated urban areas. Where counting votes takes time.
Second – In the United States, it takes time to count votes cast by mail before voting day. Trump is not a fan of this way of voting.
third – There are actually 50 states in the United States. But there are 7 of them where it is almost impossible to predict the results who will win here. Since voting and counting methods are different in these states, final results take time to arrive.
Who are these states? What is your account? A look.
1st – Arizona – Voting by mail is quite popular in the US state of Arizona. In the 2020 election, 90 percent of people had cast their votes even before Election Day. Most of them also had the help of the mail. Many times, a large number of mail-in votes are cast even on the day of voting. For this reason, counting takes time.
Second – Georgia – One thing that could delay the Georgia results is American voters and military personnel abroad. They all send their votes by postal mail. This time it is estimated that 21,000 such votes will be sent by mail. Even after November 5, these votes are accepted for three days. These votes could be decisive in a very close election.
Third – Michigan – In 2020, there was a significant delay in counting mail-in votes in Michigan, so Trump’s early lead later shifted in Biden’s favor. This time Michigan has made some changes, so the results are expected to come in sooner than last time, but it still wouldn’t make sense to wait for November 5th.
Fourth – Snowfall – In 2020, the US elections became a big joke due to the slow vote counting in the state of Nevada. The results were declared here after 5 days. However, this time officials here are talking about some changes. But as there has been an increase in the number of people voting by mail, there may be a delay in results.
Fifth – North Carolina – There are more facilities for Americans performing military and foreign service in North Carolina. Therefore, the decision was made 10 days after voting in the last presidential election. So Trump had won here. Therefore, the possibility of a delay in the electoral results cannot be ruled out in this case either.
Sixth – Pennsylvania – Pennsylvania is one of the most important electoral states. Last time, the results took 4 days to be declared here. Because it took time to count the votes cast by mail. This time also the counting will be like the last time, so the results may arrive late. Yes, this time it will be said how many ballots remain to be counted.
Seventh – Wisconsin – Like Pennsylvania, the US state of Wisconsin also does not allow mail-in votes to be counted before election morning. This means that the counting of votes already cast in Wisconsin will begin on November 5. After all, there may also be a delay in results here.
In this way, the final result of the US presidential elections may be extended for a few days even after November 5.
