6 november 2024 в 00:13
Now that election day has arrived, voters do not want a repeat of 2020. During those elections, President Joe Biden’s victory over Donald Trump was only announced four days later. Americans eagerly awaited the results against the biggest issue of the time: the COVID-19 pandemic. In some states, early and mail-in votes are not counted until election day. This time, 75 million voters decided to cast their votes before November 5th. So when does the official vote counting process begin?
Read on to learn about the vote counting process as Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris battle for the White House.
The vote counting process varies from state to state. Some do not allow the counting of mail-in votes until election day.
In Pennsylvania, counting began on election day, November 5, 2024. According to reports, all mail-in votes are counted first, as well as early and in-person votes. In the critical state, in-person votes are counted through electronic devices at each polling place, so they can be counted relatively quickly after the polls close. However, counting all early votes can still take time — even days to process.
However, other states began counting votes slightly earlier. For example, in New Hampshire, the small town of Dixville Notch began counting at midnight on November 5th. Only six votes were cast, resulting in a tie between Harris and Trump.
Since the process varies, there is no set time for vote counting to begin in all states.
Polling place closing times vary by district. Some places close at 8:00 PM, while others close at 9:00 PM local time. It is important for voters to check the operating hours of their polling place.
Most people are aware that the 2024 elections are very close. Some polls indicate a victory for Harris, while others indicate a victory for Trump.
According to FiveThirtyEight, a political website, it is predicted that Harris will win «50 times out of 100», while Trump will win «49 times out of 100» out of 1000 election simulations. According to the site, out of 1000 simulations, Harris won in 503 cases, Trump received 495, and two outcomes ended without a winner.
Since voting has just begun, it is too early to draw conclusions based on fluctuating opinions and polls
