Why we probably won’t know who the next president is on Election Night

Don’t expect to know the winner of this year’s elections on Election Day. Election officials are lowering expectations, saying you’ll just have to wait a while.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has said her state won’t know its election results until the day after the election. Maricopa County, Ariz. election officials have warned it will take them 10 to 13 days to count all the ballots. The Associated Press is already cautioning that highly competitive races in Nevada may not be called on Election Night.
