EDIT — LOCKING UP UNTIL POLLS CLOSE FOR EASE OF MODERATION

Want to keep this one focused on actual election results as they become available starting on Tuesday evening. Thought we might have a separate thread for exit polls and speculation, but limit this thread to (1) factual information about counting process in each state and (2) actual results.

How long does counting usually take?Arizona’s lengthy two-page ballot could delay vote counting by 10 to 13 days due to slower processing, increased manual tabulation and new early-ballot handling requirements. In Arizona, ballots cast and processed before Election Day are the first to be reported after polls close. Mail ballots that are delivered on Election Day take much longer to tabulate because election workers do not begin processing or verifying them until after polls close. In Maricopa County, which has the state’s largest population, about 20 percent of the nearly 1.6 million votes cast in 2022 were mail ballots dropped off on Election Day.

Arizona does not release votes until all precincts have reported or one hour after all polls are closed, whichever is first, usually 10 p.m. Eastern time.

In 2020, about 72 percent of total votes cast were reported by midnight Eastern time. (More from the AP.)”

Georgia state law allows county election officials to begin tabulating mail ballots at 7 a.m. on Election Day. As a result, the first votes reported on election night will include much of these mail ballots as well as early in-person votes.

Overall, these ballots have tended to favor Democrats, ever since the issue of early and mail voting became highly politicized during the 2020 election.

This suggests that the Democratic candidate in a competitive contest could take an early lead in the vote count in the initial vote reports after polls close, even though the race may tighten considerably as more votes are tabulated.

Georgia counts its ballots fairly quickly: In 2020, about 77 percent of total votes cast were reported by midnight Eastern time. (More from the AP.)”
 
MICHIGAN

Polls open: 7 a.m./8 a.m. Eastern time (7 a.m. local time — four Michigan counties are on Central time).

A new law gives local election officials more time to process and tabulate absentee mail ballots, which should help alleviate the logjam that slowed ballot counting in the 2020 presidential election.

In 2020, about 45 percent of total votes cast were reported by midnight Eastern time.

Michigan covers two time zones, so most of the state will start reporting results while some voters in the Upper Peninsula are casting ballots until 9 p.m. Eastern time. The AP will not call a winner before the last polls have closed at 9 p.m. (More from the AP.)

“Polls open: 10 a.m. Eastern time (7 a.m. local time).
Polls close: 10 p.m. Eastern time (7 p.m. local time).
Notable races:
  • President (six electoral votes).
  • U.S. Senate (race to watch).
  • U.S. House (one race to watch).
  • Question 3 (requires open primaries and ranked-choice voting in general elections).
  • Question 6 (creates a constitutional right to abortion).
  • Question 7 (requires photo identification to vote in person, along with extra verification for mail ballots).

In 2021, Nevada adopted a law requiring mail-in ballots to be automatically sent to active voters, making permanent an emergency measure implemented during the coronavirus pandemic.

In the midterm elections the following year, about 80 percent of voters cast their ballots in person before Election Day or by mail.

Mail ballots that are postmarked by Election Day will be counted if they are received by Nov. 9, four days after Election Day.

With a large number of mail ballots potentially arriving after Election Day, the outcome of some highly competitive races might not be determined until these additional mail ballots are received and tabulated.

The state does not release any vote results until the final voter in line has cast a ballot, which could be well after the time polls formally close. In 2020, about 79 percent of total votes cast were reported by 6 a.m. the day after Election Day. (More from the AP.)”

North Carolina has a track record of counting votes relatively quickly, leaving only about 1 percent of the vote uncounted after election night.

This year, the count could be slowed in some areas due to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. State election officials approved emergency measures in nearly 30 western counties and tribal areas giving voters additional options for turning in their absentee ballots. (More from the AP.)”

Several factors contribute to a relatively slow vote-counting process in Pennsylvania.

Under Pennsylvania law, election officials must wait until 7 a.m. on Election Day before they can begin to process ballots cast by mail and prepare them to be counted. The actual tabulation of mail ballots cannot begin until after polls have closed.

Because of the overall volume of mail ballots — they comprised almost a quarter of the total vote in the 2022 midterm elections — and the varying amounts of time it takes the state’s 67 counties to tally these votes, determining a winner in a highly competitive race could take several days, as it did in the 2020 presidential election.

In 2020, about 54 percent of total votes cast were reported by midnight Eastern time. (More from the AP.)”
 
WISCONSIN

In Wisconsin, the first vote results reported on election night tend to be a mix of ballots cast on Election Day and in advance.

State law does not allow for absentee ballots to be processed before 7 a.m. on Election Day.

In the April presidential primaries, more than a third of counties reported most or all of their vote results in their first vote report of the night — including in-person Election Day votes as well as mail-in and early votes.

But larger counties, including the Democratic strongholds of Milwaukee and Dane, took much longer. Their first vote update of the night included only a small share of the total votes cast. In a close race, that is likely to mean waiting for final results in both places to know who has won the state.

In 2020, about 70 percent of total votes cast were reported by midnight Eastern time. (More from the AP.)

There are no registered Democrats in Dixville Notch, so maybe it is a great sign ?!?!?

OTOH, Biden won there 5-0 in 2020, it was 4-2-1 Clinton-Trump-Johnson in 2016. It was a tie 5-5 in 2012.

Dixville Notch almost lost its town status in 2019 because there were four residents in town, fewer than required to conduct an election. They had to convince a fifth person to move to the town.

Really not sure it's a bellwether of anything.

It was mostly a joke but I don't like that with a sample size of six, three people would vote for Trump. Especially after going 5-0 for Biden in 2020.

It's just 2016 PTSD roaring it's ugly head.
