All eyes will be on these six states on Election Day. Here's what you need to know. #Election2020

These states — the Great Lakes battlegrounds of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and the Sunbelt battlegrounds of Arizona, Florida and North Carolina — are more likely than any others to determine whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden captures an Electoral College majority.

These six states represent 101 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Other states could prove critical under some election scenarios, but attention will be on these six states first and foremost Tuesday night.

Early voting amid the pandemic has exploded in most of these states. Florida and North Carolina have passed 90% of their 2016 turnout, while Arizona has passed 80%, Wisconsin has passed 60% and Michigan has passed 50%, according to the U.S. Elections Project. #Vote2020

It's #ElectionDay, and it's an election like no other. Here's what to expect when it comes to election results.

We might not know a winner Tuesday night. The ballot counting is probably going to take a little more time than we are used to. Remember: every vote is being counted, whether it was cast in person or via an absentee ballot.

Democrats dominated mail-in voting ahead of Election Day, while polling has shown Donald Trump's supporters are more likely to vote Tuesday. Independent voters made up only 10 percent of the early vote.

In the second and final presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden, the candidates made many fibs and half-truths throughout the six-sections of the debate. #Debates2020

Here's a look at some of the biggest contentions and inaccuracies:

Not only are COVID-19 cases up, so too are hospitalizations and deaths. However, during the debate, President Trump blamed the higher numbers on testing, which is not true. Extensive testing will identify more cases, but only if those infections exist. bit.ly/35kFaD2
