10/ Let's fast forward to #ElectionDay. With 80M+ ballots already cast, what should we expect on Nov. 3? Unprecedented voter turnout. The first polls close in IN and KY, 6 p.m. local time And last in IA, NY and ND, 9 p.m. local time https://ballotpedia.org/State_Poll_Opening_and_Closing_Times_(2020) …pic.twitter.com/WNgf8y0VM0

11/ PAUSE Know your rights as a voter: https://www.vote.org/election-protection/ … If anyone tries to stop you on #ElectionDay, call the Election Protection Hotline at 1-866-687-8683.pic.twitter.com/2kzB2AEDmR

12/ And remember: there's a good chance we won't know who won the presidency on #ElectionNight, as battleground states count ballots and both parties weigh potential litigation. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/27/upshot/election-results-timing.html …pic.twitter.com/UPnEoV0Tyr

13/ The increase in absentee voting could lead to more provisional votes cast, increasing the number of ballots counted later. 16+ states require people to vote this way if they initially requested a mail ballot but decide to vote in person instead. https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/provisional-ballots.aspx …pic.twitter.com/Jhd5q6TvFA

14/ Another thing to watch for: Results from battleground states will come in at different times. Why? — There is a large # of expected mail-in ballots. — Each battleground state has their own rule on when they can start processing those ballots. https://ballotpedia.org/When_states_can_begin_processing_and_counting_absentee/mail-in_ballots,_2020 …pic.twitter.com/fIR7nijTOv

15/ The process of certifying elections has always taken weeks, depending on the individual state. The influx of mail-in ballots amid potential litigation over rejected ballots means it will be a closely watched set of events, but not one that is unusual. https://bit.ly/30Jnjoa pic.twitter.com/tjK4dKCnEt
