Nevada has paused vote counting until Thursday morning. A water pipe burst at State Farm Arena in Georgia, halting absentee ballot tabulation. Allegheny, Pittsburgh, and other counties in Pennsylvania have also stopped counting for the night. Fulton County in Georgia will resume counting in the morning. Election workers will return to counting mail-in ballots in the morning. Nevada has also stopped counting votes. Translation: Nevada and Pennsylvania have temporarily stopped counting votes. A water pipe issue in Georgia caused a pause in absentee ballot tabulation. Several counties in Pennsylvania and Fulton County in Georgia have also halted counting for the night. Workers will resume counting in the morning.

Many people are feeling "nauseously optimistic" about the election. Republicans blocked legislation for early processing of mail-in ballots, which means we won't see the final vote tally until late at night. Expect a temporary "red shift" where Trump appears to do better initially, followed by a "blue shift" as absentee ballots are counted. Don't be alarmed if early results favor Trump; there are still many ballots, particularly from Milwaukee, that haven't been reported yet. While there may be unfounded claims from Republicans, rest assured that all ballots will be counted securely. It's important to remain calm as we wait for the results, which will ultimately reflect a fair election in Wisconsin.

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.

In Arizona, results will take about 10 to 13 days to process, as the focus is on accuracy rather than speed. While networks may make predictions sooner, official results will be reliable when they are announced. In Pennsylvania, results are delayed because counties can only start processing mail-in ballots at 7 AM on election day. However, improvements in equipment and experience since 2020, along with a decrease in mail-in voting, may help expedite the process. Ultimately, the timing of results depends on the closeness of the election.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger stated that there is approximately 2% of votes left to count in the state. He mentioned that they had a record-breaking turnout of 4.7 million voters, with an average wait time of only 2 minutes. Raffensperger doesn't believe the remaining votes will change the outcome, but he acknowledged that predictions can be made based on the heavily Democratic counties, particularly Atlanta. He emphasized that their role is to report the results and not make guesses. Raffensperger assured that the counties are working diligently to complete the counting process.

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.

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.

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.

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.

- The discussion centers on ballot processing in Maricopa County, with several shipments arriving after the initial belief that counting was near completion. Speaker 0 notes that the Wednesday before the Friday they quit voting, and ten days before they quit tabulating, more truckloads of ballots came in, leading to the question: “how can you not know how many ballots are still out there?” - Speaker 1 asks for clarification: “They thought they were done.” The conversation confirms multiple times that those running the counting rooms believed they were almost done, or would be done, on Wednesday morning, then Thursday morning, then Friday morning, and the process extended into the next week. - Trucks bringing ballots arrived on the third, fourth, and fifth days, continuing throughout the last week. The last day mentioned is the tenth, with ballots still arriving. The company involved is Runback, described as doing high-speed scanning and printing of duplications and military ballots. There was no observer presence at Runback, and Speaker 0 indicates she had not been called to work there; she does not know exactly what Runback was doing (printing vs. scanning). - It is stated that all high-speed scanning occurs at Runback, and the ballots go to Runback. There is uncertainty about off-site scanning and whether Dominion equipment was involved. Speaker 0 clarifies: “They were duplications, the ballots that wouldn’t read through the tabulation machines. They were ballots that came in from military and overseas.” The number of additional sources for ballots beyond military/overseas is unknown, and Speaker 0 suggests this is a question for county employees to explain. - About the counting process: Speaker 0 confirms that the ballots went through tabulation machines and that adjudication work took place for those late arrivals. They observed the ballots being processed, but did not know the exact totals for certain days. - Daily volumes are described. Speaker 0 estimates: one day a shift might handle 90,000 ballots, and some days had similar volumes across three shifts; other days had fewer. There were days when as few as 15,000 ballots were processed. The “back door” arrivals are contrasted with the front door, with Speaker 0 noting that all back door ballots were received through back entries, not the front door. The remaining ballots in the latter part of the period continued to come in and be tabulated, with ongoing full-time shifts through the eighth, ninth, and tenth days. - The episode concludes with Speaker 1 seeking further explanation, and Speaker 0 indicating that some of the details were not fully known and that a county employee should clarify where the incoming ballots came from during the latter part of the period.

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.

Hi, everyone. This is Harmit Dhillon in Scottsdale, Arizona, with the election integrity team. We have numerous lawyers and thousands of observers reporting on voting conditions, including line lengths and issues with paper and ink. I'm pleased to share that we are quickly resolving any problems and assisting voters. So far, there are no significant long lines that haven't been addressed. We are effectively deploying voters from crowded locations to nearby polling places. The communication and get-out-the-vote efforts have improved significantly from previous elections, leading to great voter turnout. Every vote matters, especially in close races here in Arizona, and we aim to win decisively. Thank you for your efforts, and please make sure to vote. Looking forward to a successful election day!

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.

I'm calling out the recent news story as a setup for a time hack. In Maricopa County during the 2020 election, they had 10 tally machines counting over 140,000 ballots daily. Yet, on election day, they claimed they needed 10 extra days to count, processing only 89,000 ballots the day after and then dropping to just a few thousand. A month later, they counted 140,000 ballots again. This indicates they are creating excuses and using various hacks to interfere with the election. It's crucial to maintain chain of custody for forensic audits, which is costly but necessary to prevent disqualification of evidence. We learned from 2020, and it's vital to preserve this information for future legal actions. Barcodes are scanned using a laser that checks columns for light reflection, translating them into binary code for computers.

Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger reports that approximately 2% of the vote remains to be counted. The state had a record-breaking 4.7 million voters, surpassing the 4.1 million in 2016, with an average wait time of only 2 minutes statewide. Raffensperger stated that based on the current results, he doesn't believe the remaining votes will change the outcome of any races. He said his assessment is based on the number of votes outstanding and the candidates' current positions, suggesting that even if one candidate received 100% of the remaining votes, it likely wouldn't be enough to alter the results. He emphasized that his office reports the data and does not guess the outcome.

Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger reports that approximately 2% of the vote remains to be counted. The state experienced record voter turnout with 4.7 million votes, surpassing the 4.1 million in 2016, and an average statewide wait time of only two minutes. Raffensperger stated that based on the current results, he doesn't believe the remaining votes will change any outcomes in presidential, congressional, and senatorial races. He clarified that this assessment isn't a guess, but is based on the number of votes outstanding and the margin between candidates. Even if one candidate received a high percentage of the remaining votes, it likely wouldn't be enough to shift the results. The counties are working diligently to complete the count.

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.

50,000 ballots will be released in the next 9 minutes, followed by 37,000 tomorrow. There appears to be some ballots arriving now, as seen with a police escort and two vans. Election workers in Philadelphia are processing the ballots, fulfilling their civic duty. We anticipate the release of information about the additional 50,000 ballots shortly, with another update expected tomorrow morning.
