When will we know?
We need to be prepared for many days of chaos and upheaval around this election. We know what they have planned. Still, it’s good to know when the polls close and what to expect for the election night returns. You can plan your drinking accordingly.
Trump and his little dog Brett Kavanaugh are out there saying that we must know the winner on election night because he doesn’t understand that “election night results” are based on media projections and the two campaigns agreeing on the outcome. That is highly unlikely to happen this time. Many states have never had to deal with this number of mail-in votes and the media is going to be very, very careful about calling any races. States have weeks to certify results and many times are counting results for many days afterwards.
