Washington: Voting in the US presidential election continues. In some places, there were reports of fake bombs, and in some places there were reports of malfunctioning voting machines. Bad weather also affected voting. Results in some of the close states that will decide the presidential race could be released as early as Tuesday night, The Washington Post reported. In other states, it’s expected to take more time. And results from North Carolina and Wisconsin are likely to come first.
Fulton County, Georgia, is more likely to have results on Wednesday, according to preliminary information. Michigan’s secretary of state said results are expected by the end of Wednesday. Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania could take a few more days.
Voting machine glitches in central Iowa county
Concerns that it will take several days for complete results to come out also stem from voting machine malfunctions in some places. Voting was also disrupted in Iowa counties in the central United States due to malfunctioning voting machines. Voting machines were reportedly malfunctioning in Story County, in central Iowa, which has a population of about 100,000. This may result in potential delays in reporting results. “We are aware of technical issues with tabulating machines in certain areas of Story County,” said Ashley Hunter Esquivel, spokesperson for the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office. “Auditors are working with the vendor and our office to work on this issue, but it may have an impact on early results reporting.
Kamala Harris vs. Trump
Multiple surveys show a tight race between Republican candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Even in swing states, the race between the two candidates is tight. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for pollsters to predict who will become the next President of the United States this time. If battleground states remain closely contested, we may have to wait for results from a few more states before we can predict the outcome.
