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 states where day-of votes are counted first, you might see Republicans in the lead early in the night before absentee ballots, which are expected to favor Democrats, are counted. In the Rust Belt states, look for a "blue shift," and in the South, look for a "red shift."
A handful of states could decide if Donald Trump or Joe Biden is elected president. Keep an eye on these states as results are coming in. #ElectionDaybit.ly/3kVjvrQ

- slow things down
- give the president the ability to make a case to his base that he didn't actually lose
