WASHINGTON – A chaotic election season isn’t likely to end on Election Day as challenges, slow counts and other problems are predicted to thwart a speedy decision on who has won the presidential race and other close races.
Elections are run by individual states, and there’s always been a difference in how quickly ballots are counted. California, for instance, is the slowest to tally results, and Florida the quickest.
But on Election Day 2024, other hurdles are expected in a presidential race that many analysts say is too close to call right now.
“Our work is not going to be done on election night,” predicted Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon, president of the National Association of Secretaries of States (NASS).
Besides post-election legal challenges to results, which Simon and many of his NASS colleagues expect, there are a host of other issues that threaten to unleash chaos on Nov. 5.
“The post-election period is going to be key,” Simon said. “It will be as fraught or more so than 2020.”
