LIVE Q&A THREAD: We asked our followers to send us their biggest #Election2020 questions. Bloomberg QuickTake reporter @MadisonMills22 is taking over the account to answer them all below 👇
Can polls be wrong?

@MadisonMills22: Yes, but they’re likely to be better this time than in 2016. In 2016, national polls weren’t far off, but state polls failed to anticipate a spike in turnout from non-college-educated voters who came out in droves for Trump.
How long will results take? (pt. 1)

@MadisonMills22: Unclear! If either candidate wins an unexpected state with tons of electoral votes, like Biden wins Texas or Florida, they may declare victory.
