Election Results Delays Expected in Key States

As Election Day approaches, voters in key states, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, may face significant delays in receiving election results due to restrictions on processing mail-in and absentee ballots until November 5. In Michigan, Warren City Clerk Sonja Buffa has opted to wait until Election Day to count absentee ballots, prioritizing accuracy over speed despite concerns from local officials about potential delays in results. Similarly, Arizona officials warn that it could take up to two weeks to finalize vote counts, reflecting a nationwide trend of possible chaos and protests reminiscent of the 2020 election. National polling indicates a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, which could further complicate the counting process if results are close. States have been urged to encourage early voting to alleviate pressure on election officials and reduce long lines on Election Day. Overall, voters should prepare for a potentially extended wait for the final election outcomes.
