With just one day until Election Day, the question of when Americans will know the results of the 2020 election is top of mind, as President Trump insists results must be in on Tuesday night.

But Ohio's Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose stressed that "election night results are never final" on the ABC News "Powerhouse Politics" podcast.

"This idea that election night is sort of this grand reality TV show where everybody gets to go to bed on election night knowing who won and who lost is just a flawed construct that's not the way it works," LaRose said during an interview Monday with podcast co-hosts ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl and Political Director Rick Klein.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that the winner of the election must be known on election night, saying during a rally in Iowa Sunday, "We should know the result of the election on November 3rd, the evening of November 3rd. That’s the way it's been and that's the way it should be."

1. If anyone says Biden won at 11:59 11/3/20

I am 100% good with that. And 100% good with every campaign anyone calls for any Democrat by 11:59 11/3/20

Funny how that works.

2. The winner on Election night is projected by the media.

They know how to do it so they're usually right and they get clearance to call races, but states still gotta count all the ballots.

3. It is not just a grand reality TV show construct.

It is like all those cop shows where they solve a murder in an hour - actually less than an hour, given the time needed for commercials.
