When Will We Know The Final Results (in your estimation?)

Most sources either don't think (or have skepticism) we'll have the results by election night or the early morning of the 4th.

I really have no idea - too many different thoughts, but mostly uncertainty? I just want this to be over with.

What do you all think? I'm trying to keep up on court rulings, but I can't keep track, not to mention appeals, etc... I read states have 35 days to certify the results, but hoping not to wait that long.

one is the "official" which takes 30+ days and the other is "presumptive" winner which can happen 10pm CST tomorrow night

that we don't have to count every single ballot..

My big worry is that Florida's early voting is even before voting day, when most Republicans seem to vote, but let's hope this a cause of the pandemic and assume they voted early

postmarked in time...


This is BS... The more votes = the more accurate our "democracy" is.

This is a pandemic. People shouldn't have to risk their health to vote... I wonder what they did during the Spanish Flu.

From what I remember in 2016, when Virginia was "Too Close To Call" right out the gate that was a very bad sign and my heart sank. If we hear Virginia "Too Early To Call" but trending Biden tomorrow night, we're in good shape and that will tell us a lot about the state of the race in North Carolina and perhaps somewhat in Florida.

But I think there will probably be strong indications as to who will win, especially if the media/election sites break down which votes are currently tallied. If mail in ballots aren’t included in initial PA tally, Trump may need a 1M Election Day vote lead to win PA.

Any of N.C., Ga, Fl, Tx, Az called for Biden would probably indicate a Biden win. Even if Trump wins all those states, the Midwest route is still open for Biden.
