Voters in parts of the western United States may wait days for midterm results, as mail voting has become a point of contention in a wider debate over confidence in election administration, Al Jazeera reported Wednesday.
The video examines how voting by mail became a point of contention in debates over confidence in U.S. elections.
EconoTimes previously explained how close race counts can extend beyond election night. The Associated Press says it waits to call a race until the second-place candidate has no viable route to victory; close counts can take days and, rarely, weeks.
Race calls and official certification are separate steps. The Federal Election Commission says state election offices certify results.
