USA RESULTS. The 2024 American elections promise to be so uncertain that we can expect a soap opera during the counting. How to follow the evolution of the results?
Who, Trump or Donald Trump, will lead the country from January? The results of these 2024 presidential elections are eagerly awaited, and given the very close nature of the vote, we must expect hours and hours of uncertainty. The uncertainty of the results during the night of Tuesday November 5 to Wednesday November 6 is considerable, the evolution of the results must therefore be followed hour by hour, or even minute by minute.
To follow the arrival of the election results in the USA, you will therefore have to be patient, consult the best sources and the right media to fully enjoy the show. Linternaute.com offers you a summary of information and figures all night long, from the first estimates to the consolidated results, via the count of the electors and the victories in each state on our map.
The result of the American elections could be a long time coming and we should probably not fall into the trap of Donald Trump’s often thunderous declarations which could give erroneous information about the vote and the results, even before their proclamation. The scale of postal votes could delay the publication of complete results in many key states.
Even when the advance and D-Day ballots have been counted, a significant number of votes could still be pending in the 7 Swing States, in which the results of the 2024 presidential election are expected to be close. Among the oddities of the American electoral system, the rule in many states allows voters whose right to vote is called into question during the ballot (for lack of identity document for example) to deposit a “provisional” ballot in the ballot box . The latter will be set aside and counted when their legitimacy is subsequently confirmed. Provisional voting can also slow down lines at polling places. Usually, the number of provisional votes is not large enough to be significant, indicates the New York Times, but we know: this election can be very tense.
But if we are looking to be well informed in this uncertain night, it is difficult not to mention the two institutions on the East Coast of the United States: the New York Times, but also the Washington Post. The first is accessible by subscription, but certain results pages should be accessible for free tonight. Visit the page dedicated to the American elections on the New York Times.
