Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Nevada have been a stronghold for the Democratic party, they contributed in Joe Biden winning the presidential election in 2020.
However, Florida and Ohio have proven to be for the Republicans in the previous elections.
We understand the deal between both parties will be considered in Pennsylvania and its 19 electoral college votes.
What happens on election day?
In recent elections, the majority of voters go to the polls and ballots are counted. Many people may have already cast their vote ahead of time using the postal voting system or early voting.
What time does polling end?
After polls close, Votes are counted in each state. Poll close times depend on the state but all polls are expected to begin counting votes from 7pm local time.
The range of time zones across the US means that on the East Coast, ballots will have been tabulated while voters in states like Alaska and Hawaii are still making their way to the polls.
When do we get the election results?
The winner of the election will likely not be projected for days. Even then, the results are not properly finalized for months.
However, states and the whole election result are typically “called” long before the final votes are counted.
In 2020, the result was called for Joe Biden four days after the November 3 ballot, after Pennsylvania’s result was confirmed.
The state provided Biden with 20 electoral college votes, taking him over the 270 required to win. In 2016, Hillary Clinton conceded to Trump the morning after the election.
