US election vote count: Previous scenarios and what to expect in the race

In the US, counting of votes cannot begin before the polls close, although most states allow advance preparation to speed up the counting process. However, some key states, such as Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, do not allow this advance preparation, which can delay the completion of results.

The most likely scenario for this year's election suggests that tight margins between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump could lead to one or more recounts in some states.

Historically, US election results have been announced at different times, depending on the intensity of the race. In 2020, for example, the final result was announced four days after Election Day, declaring Joe Biden the winner. In 2016, Donald Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton was announced just one day after the election.

In 2008 and 2012, Barack Obama declared victory on election night. However, the 2000 race between George W. Bush and Al Gore was very close, and the final result was not announced until December 12, five weeks after the election, through a Supreme Court decision.

In this election, many eyes are on the expected results, with analysts suggesting that the closeness of the race could delay the announcement of the winner for several days.
