It Could Take Time -- Maybe 13 Days in Arizona -- to Determine Who Wins the Presidency
Counting and recounting has already begun in Arizona, one of 10 remaining battleground states
The counting and recounting of votes has already begun in Arizona, one of 10 remaining battleground states that will determine who wins the presidency. The outcome of the election could hinge on the results in these states, and it could be days or even weeks before we know who the winner is.
In Arizona, the race is extremely close. As of Wednesday morning, Joe Biden led Donald Trump by just over 17,000 votes, with about 98% of the vote counted. However, there are still many outstanding ballots to be counted, including early votes and provisional ballots. These ballots could take days or even weeks to count.
Experts say it could take up to 13 days to determine who wins in Arizona
Election experts say it could take up to 13 days to determine who wins in Arizona. This is because the state's election laws allow for a recount if the margin of victory is less than 0.5%. If a recount is requested, it could take several days or even weeks to complete.
The outcome of the election could hinge on the results in Arizona
The outcome of the election could hinge on the results in Arizona. If Biden wins Arizona, he will have 270 electoral votes, which is the number needed to win the presidency. However, if Trump wins Arizona, the race will likely go to the House of Representatives, where each state delegation will get one vote. In the House, Republicans currently hold a majority, so Trump would be favored to win.
