New York Times: “Election Results Could Take Awhile”
Promises Another “Red Mirage”
Americans won’t know the results of this year’s election on election night, according to The New York Times.
“For the second straight presidential election, it is becoming increasingly likely that there will be no clear and immediate winner on election night and that early returns could give a false impression of who will ultimately prevail,” writes Nick Corasaniti.
“Large swaths of Americans have changed their voting habits in recent years, relying increasingly on mail-in ballots, which take more time to count than those cast in person on Election Day. States with prolonged vote-counting processes, such as Arizona, have become suddenly competitive. And the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump appears extremely close.”
