There is no evidence that the votes being counted after Election Day are not legitimate, experts report
US elections 1 hour ago
As vote counting continues in the presidential election, experts confirmed there is no evidence to suggest votes being processed after Election Day are not legitimate. According to multiple voting nonprofits, it is taking longer to count votes and verify a winner in this year’s election because millions are mail-in ballots, which take longer to verify and process. Some states also allow mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day to be counted as long as they are postmarked on or before November 3. Each state has its own rules and will report results on different timelines.
