What to know as states keep counting with key races hanging in the balance

Key races in Arizona and Nevada to determine control of the Senate have yet to be called as both states race to count hundreds of thousands of ballots.

Chet Atkins really then maybe you can explain some things to me because no one else that supports the Democrats can do so. When they were closing down for lunch and the Republicans left the building. The Democrats locked them out and boarded up the windows in order Jimmy John's through the back door. At another polling place they were putting ballots for Trump in a box and saying we'll run those later which is on surveillance videos. And they miraculously all shut down at the same time. After the Democrats enter the building a police officer politely tells Republicans oh you can't come in there's been a bomb scare.

Again I ask, if in mail - in voting States, as you say, they still need to wait to count all those bags of mailed in ballots, how did Fetterman’s election get called, with so many votes still outstanding, let alone hand - counted and verified, as you say. And in PA in particular, they said they had SO many uncounted votes, that they said people would have to wait days or weeks for results….then as the margin closed between the 2 candidates….Fetterman became the “ called/projected” winner in a couple of hours??
How did they know who they voted for in those “ thousands of yet to be counted votes”??
And he wasn’t just “ projected” as a winner, he went up and “ accepted” with his family, and people are congratulating him….yet in those other states, Nevada, and Arizona….nothing moves, and “ too many outstanding votes to call or project a winner”…???


Josh Henkle you soooo didn't lose me. I know you said ballots have to be in by Nov. 8th. Sir, that depends on the state. My state says postmarked by Nov 8th. or it doesn't count. If a voter wants to wait to drop or mail until the 7th or 8th, they can and per the state, they will count or pull based on their laws. You're the one who bloody thinks they shouldn't be counted at all, even if they're in on time. Heard than there were 290K mail-ins were dropped in Maricopa county on Tuesday. That'll take a while. That said, I'm glad you love the way you chose to vote. I love the way I chose to vote as well.


Pistachio Disguisey it IS 'it's all a conspiracy' to drawn conclusions based on irregularities in one county in one state. A couple in different counties in a different state. And what hearings? All election counts, recounts, investigations, etc are handled by the state's election official and the Secretary of State. There has been reports of meddling, intimidation, and electioneering. Color me shocked. There always is. It's caught, stopped, and/or prosecuted. What's not very democratic is to be pissed that all votes need to be counted whether a race has been called or not. *not referring to you* And don't squirrel to Jan 6th unless you want to go to per their own admissions, of trying to steal an election. Not cool.


Andi Louise they are still counting the ballots, not recounting and the officials even said that could take up to Thanksgiving, not sure why they would say that if it was not true, do you? That state and Nevada are the only ones who seem to have that problem. Many people went to vote and were told they could hand over their ballots and they could run them when the !machines were back up, many people did but some didn't and left and kept coming back and finally were able run them, these places keep having these same problems over and over for years, they need to fix it! My state where I voted on election day at 530 pm and a very busy time, I was in and out in 15 minutes and everything ran smoothly! I would find it frustrating as well if it didnt


Andi Louise they are the exact same kind of hearings. In front of a senate comittee but not a courtroom so you can have your own jan 6 hearing too. I don’t even know what trump says half the time but only a retarted person believes all the conspiracies on one side and none on the other side. The real life videos are right there at your fingertips but you would rather not watch or read unless it’s someone on tv dogging trump. That’s not news it’s opinions and rumors. Watch maricopa co admit they deleted files from the server before they gave the server to the auditors


Gary Calvert to cure your suspicions. No state has ever had every single ballot counted on election day or even the next. They may call the races, but they haven't finished counting. I live in the biggest county in my state. They aren't done yet even though we've called our races. Some states can't even touch a ballot or mail in until their polls closed. Guarantee you, those states haven't fully counted. As for battleground states, it's not that they count slower. It's the close races in those battleground states and everyone is hyper-focused. Every vote counts. When my state had this same thing happen and it took a month to get our governor, the whole country didn't care. Even those of us who live here weren't freaking out about cheating, fraud, or were suspicious because it takes time to count all the votes.


Jean M Kennedy you really believed your democracy was threatened? First off the US is a Constitutional Feberal Republic. And how was your democracy threatened? Those on the right who were actually fighting for your rights if elected were going to dismantle the gov. and put a dictator in place? You really think thay? So what did you get out of these elections? Nothing. Abortion was never threatened and since you thought it was you gave up everything else? People cannot heat home or eat and getting killed all over the place. What about their lives? And their lives are actually being threatened. And the unborn child does not have a say?


Adrian Morin then talk to your state gop lawmakers, they did this. The slow count of mail ballots is a deliberate choice that lawmakers in key battleground states have made — and with disastrous consequences for public trust in elections. By building these delays into the system, lawmakers give oxygen to false claims of “ballot dumps” and other nonsense that has been used to sow distrust and has led to threats and violence against election workers. We will hear the same false claims after the 2022 election — in which mail ballots again appear to be tilting Democratic — and in every subsequent election until state legislatures fix the process.


10ºFred Parker Oh sweet baby Jesus. This is just rich. I have no idea where and what leanings the machines that broke down are but you have got to be kidding me. OMG, people had to stand in line? A long line? Bet the local Cub Scout Pack couldn't do a community service project by handing out water either. I'm not a Democrat but a right leaning independent but now you (and Republicans) are worried about voter suppression and disenfranchisement? Just bloody rich. That said, I hope you and the rest of Republicans will jump on board that it's not cool or acceptable.
