Only about half the votes have been counted, which accounts for around 8 million votes. It's difficult to foresee how the remaining votes will significantly alter the current margin, even if the counting takes a couple more weeks.

Polls have closed, and local election officials in Pennsylvania, along with trained volunteers, are counting the votes. Results will be reported to the Department of State and posted live at electionreturns.pa.gov. It's important to reassure everyone that every legal vote will be counted accurately, and the will of the people will be respected. Patience is requested from Pennsylvanians and the media, as counting millions of votes takes time. The speed at which news organizations call elections depends on the closeness of the races; tighter races require more time to ensure every eligible vote is accurately counted.

Cecilia reports from Pennsylvania, highlighting its importance with 19 electoral college votes. On the final campaign day, both candidates focused on the state, with Trump emphasizing that winning Pennsylvania would secure the election. Kamala Harris concluded her rally at the iconic Rocky steps. Al Schmidt, the secretary of state, indicated that results may not be available tonight, clarifying that any delays are not indicative of wrongdoing. He urged everyone to be patient.

In 2020, Michigan had unofficial results from its highest turnout election within 24 hours of polls closing, completed by 8 PM Wednesday. This year, with more options to reprocess ballots before election day, results could potentially come even sooner. The best estimate for result completion is still the end of the day on Wednesday. Accuracy and security will be prioritized over efficiency. The goal is to balance the public's desire for quick results with ensuring a secure and accurate process.

100% of votes in Georgia will be cast on security paper with the state seal. Nationwide, over 96% of all voting will be on paper ballots. President Trump implied that delayed vote tabulation indicates something nefarious, citing France's move to paper ballots due to the US system's alleged failure. Georgia's SB 189 mandates that all early votes and early accepted ballots must have their results reported by 8 PM, potentially accounting for 70-75% of the total vote count on election night. The remaining votes to be counted after that time will be overseas ballots that come in no later than Friday. The goal is to have fast, accurate, and secure elections.

In 2020, Michigan had results from its highest turnout election within 24 hours, with unofficial results completed by 8 PM on Wednesday. This year, with more options to reprocess ballots sooner than election day, officials are optimistic results could come even sooner, estimating by the end of the day on Wednesday. However, accuracy and security will be prioritized over efficiency. While understanding the public's desire for quick results, the process will remain secure and accurate before any information is released.

I'm at Turning Point Action Headquarters in Arizona. The senate race may be decided by just 1 to 200 votes, so it's crucial to ensure that ballots with signature issues are counted. Many Republican votes are still outstanding. We expect to have more information around 6 to 7 PM when Maricopa County releases a significant batch of ballots. There's still work to do, and some outcomes are yet to be determined.

Congratulations to all Americans on this historic victory. However, there are concerns about voter fraud, particularly in Maricopa County, Arizona. Adrian Fontes, the Arizona Secretary of State, claims the election process is secure, but there are accusations of mishandling voter registration. Reports indicate that 90,000 registration forms submitted by a third party were mostly damaged or incomplete. Additionally, the Election Fairness Institute has identified 500,000 cloned voters in Arizona. The counting process in Arizona is criticized for taking much longer than in Florida, despite a smaller population. Many believe that late ballots will favor Republican candidates, and there is skepticism about the integrity of the election process. Voters in Arizona are encouraged to verify that their votes are counted, especially regarding the important Kary Lake Senate race. We must ensure transparency and accountability in this election.

Yesterday, there was great success in the voting process with a record-breaking 4,700,000 voters. The average wait time was only 2 minutes statewide. Currently, there is about 2% of the votes left to count, but it is not expected to change any outcomes. The Secretary of State mentioned that predictions are made by people who specialize in that, and they will provide information on the remaining counties.

Counting of absentee ballots in several counties has been temporarily halted. In Allegheny County, including Pittsburgh, as well as Beaver, Armstrong, Butler, and Westmoreland counties in Pennsylvania, counting stopped for the night and will resume in the morning. Fulton County in Georgia, which includes Atlanta, also paused counting and will continue in the morning. Nevada stopped counting votes on election day but did not provide a reason. Additionally, counting in State Farm Arena, where Georgia's largest county was tallying absentee ballots, has been halted due to a broken water pipe.

In 2020, Pennsylvania took 4 days to call the election because half the voters voted by mail, and counting mail-in ballots takes time. Each ballot arrives in two envelopes, and processing cannot start until 7 AM on election day. According to elections administrator Karen Barsoum, dealing with 100,000 mail-in ballots means handling double the amount of envelopes, which is a long process. After opening the envelopes, a different team unfolds the ballots to remove creases. Processing each ballot takes several minutes.

Some people are feeling "nauseously optimistic." Republicans blocked legislation for early processing of mail-in ballots, so final tallies will come in late, similar to 2020. Expect a "red shift" where Trump appears to perform better initially, followed by a "blue shift" as absentee ballots are counted later. Don’t be alarmed if Trump seems to overperform at first; many ballots, especially from Milwaukee, are still uncounted. While there may be claims of irregularities from Republicans, all ballots will be securely counted. It's important to stay calm while waiting for results, as Wisconsin's elections are free, fair, and secure, and the rightful winner will receive the state's electoral votes.

It always takes a long time to count ballots, but in previous elections, large margins allowed for earlier calls. Margins are likely to be tight this time, so we might need to wait a few days in states like Georgia. Each state has different rules for counting, which can make the results look suspicious. The count doesn't unfold in a uniform manner; sometimes results come in batches. We run the most complicated elections in the world.

Tomorrow night in Maricopa County may be lengthy due to an unusually long ballot. The ballot is two pages, double-sided, with an average of 79 contests—twice as long as usual. This is causing delays in processing early mail-in ballots, potentially impacting the speed of results after polls close. While early results will be reported, they will only be a partial count as officials work around the clock to catch up. Additionally, the lengthy ballot could lead to longer lines on election day, with some voters already reporting waits of about an hour. Concerns about the ease of voting have been raised, emphasizing the need for a reevaluation of the voting process to make it more accessible.

Nevada paused vote counting until 9 AM Thursday due to a broken water pipe at State Farm Arena in Georgia. Allegheny, Beaver, Ardbert, Butler, and Westmoreland counties in Pennsylvania stopped counting for the night and will resume at 10 AM. Fulton County will stop at 10:30 PM and restart tomorrow. Nevada stopped counting votes without explanation. Mike Armstrong reports from Allegheny County, Pittsburgh.

In Pennsylvania, we ensure safe, secure, and accurate elections through multiple layers of verification. Every vote has a paper record, secured and tracked under strict chain of custody. Ballots are preserved for almost two years. Local officials verify absentee and mail-in ballots, ensuring they are signed, registered, and received on time. Our ballot counting machines meet federal security standards and are regularly tested with bipartisan observers. Bipartisan poll watchers oversee the counting process, and ballots are counted by local workers. We certify election results through a careful process. Election workers confirm that each eligible voter has voted only once. Counties finalize their counts and deliver results to the state. State officials tally these votes and certify the final statewide results, backed by maintained paper records. State courts handle challenges, and automatic recounts occur in close elections. The Department of State oversees this process, typically certifying final results after the third Monday post-election.

I agree that the media is prepared to understand this election cycle, particularly the timeline, due to the high number of mail-in ballots. States like Pennsylvania, which are key to the outcome, may not start counting these ballots until election day. Therefore, the election result may not be immediately known, and that's acceptable. Declaring a winner before all legitimate votes are counted would be unacceptable. The National Task Force on Election Crises has been working to promote this understanding. When Mary and I started this group in June 2019, we anticipated issues such as a president declaring premature victory, foreign disinformation, and cyber vulnerabilities. While we initially set aside the possibility of a pandemic, we reintroduced it in 2020. This group has been educating media, labor unions, and companies to responsibly manage expectations.

Counting of absentee ballots in several counties has been temporarily halted. In Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, they paused overnight and resumed in the morning. Fulton County, Georgia, stopped counting at 10:30 PM and will continue tomorrow. Nevada also stopped counting until 9 AM on Thursday. The reason for the pause in Nevada is unclear. Additionally, there was a water pipe break at State Farm Arena in Georgia, where they were counting absentee ballots, causing a halt in tabulation.

In Pennsylvania, results may take 2 to 3 days, which is unacceptable. France counts votes quickly with paper ballots, while here, some states may take longer to certify results. Despite having a substantial lead and more Republican votes, the declaration of victory remains uncertain. A special group will gather at Mar-a-Lago, and a larger crowd at the convention center, anticipating a win. The campaign focused on strong border policies and legal immigration, which are seen as critical issues, alongside inflation. There’s a concern about criminals and drug dealers entering the country, emphasizing the need for secure borders. Voter sentiment appears to reflect these priorities.

In the upcoming election, 100% of votes in Georgia will be recorded on security paper with the state seal. President Trump implied that delayed vote tabulation indicates potential wrongdoing, citing a lack of paper ballots as a problem and claiming results could take 7 days. However, over 96% of voting nationwide will be on paper ballots. In Georgia, a new law (SB 189) mandates that results for all early votes and early accepted ballots, potentially 70-75% of the total, be reported by 8 PM on election night. The remaining delay involves overseas ballots, with final numbers expected by Friday. Georgia aims to ensure fast, accurate, and secure elections.

In Arizona, there are 74,243 mail-in ballots with no clear record of being sent. The state uses EB32s to track when a mail-in ballot is sent and EB33s to track when it is received. Ideally, there should be more EB32s than EB33s, indicating that more ballots are sent out than returned. These ballots can be linked to specific individuals, but in this case, there is no clear indication that these 74,000 ballots were ever sent.

I'm Zach Scherer, assistant county manager for elections in Maricopa County. Our first results will be available at 8 PM, an hour after polls close, and will include 70-75% of early ballots received. Additional results will follow throughout the night, primarily from in-person votes at our vote centers. Most ballots will be counted within 24 hours after polls close. However, Arizona's races are often very close, so it may take a few days for the media to call the races. Candidates who lead on election night may not maintain those leads as more ballots are counted, which is a normal part of the process.
