Let's go back for a moment.Picture it: Election Night, 2016.You, like millions of others around the country, had gone to your polling place or had already mailed in a ballot, and you sat down to watch the results come. While it was a late night for campaigns, it was clear that many races, including the presidential one, had winners by the next day.With the political conventions wrapped up, the nation sets its sight on Nov. 3. Yet, it is becoming apparent that this Election Day will be very different than four years ago. So, let's take a look at the big question: Will there be a winner on Election Night? Though we're still a ways away from that day, it's becoming increasingly unlikely.During the primary season, several states saw slow to come in results which could serve as a potential prequel to the November general election. Though as Matt Masterson, a senior adviser on election security at the Department of Homeland Security, described to the New York Times, delay is not the word he would use to describe the later than usual results." suggests something's wrong," he told the paper."The need to take a longer time to process and count these ballots is a sign of the process working," Masterson added. "It is in no way an indication of anything malicious."To be clear, there has been no evidence of any potential fraud from any of the 2020 primary races.Looking ahead to the fall, election officials at the federal level have already been cautioning Americans of the potential for later than normal election tallies.In August, the head of the Federal Election Commission called on Americans to be patient as they wait for results. "We바카라 게임 웹사이트�re all going to need to take a deep breath and be patient this year because there바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a substantial chance we are not going to know on Election Night what the results are, possibly for the presidency, but maybe for many other races that are important to people, and that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s okay," FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub told CNN's "New Day." "If it takes a little bit longer to count all the votes accurately, that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s what we need to do in order to ensure everyone바카라 게임 웹사이트�s vote counts," she said.How long could it be until we have final results?With a presidential winner being declared on Election Night effectively out of the picture, the conversation moves to OK, so, when will we know? Short answer: It could be days, or possibly, weeks after Nov. 3. The reason for that? Currently 18 states have mail-in ballot deadlines that must be postmarked by Election Day but can be received and counted after Election Day. Those states are: AlaskaCaliforniaIllinoisIowaKansasMarylandMinnesotaNevadaNew JerseyNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioTexasUtahVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWhich states could be the most important to watch?Ohio, the state that has seemingly forever swung back and forth for Democrats and Republicans in the presidential contest. The Buckeye State allows for ballots to be received up to 10 days after the election. For historic context: Since 1964, no candidate has won the presidency without winning Ohio.The latest deadline of the listed states is Illinois, which allows for a 14-day ballot return delay.The most Electoral College votes of these states is California, which has 55. It allows ballots to come in up to three days after the election.

Some states are even changing their voting policies because of the pandemic.Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told lawmakers the U.S. Postal Service plans to "send a letter to every American" explaining "what our process is" for mail-in voting. DeJoy expects that letter to go out in September, but until then, the USPS launched a brand new website with information for voters and election officials on how to properly vote by mail this fall. On the site, you can find your state바카라 게임 웹사이트�s election website to get local information on your state바카라 게임 웹사이트�s voting procedures and how to get an absentee ballot.All states allow at least some type of mail voting, but some make it more accessible to voters than others.App users, click here to see your state's 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
