Election results may be delayed -- but not because of fraud [View all]



By Associated Press -July 31, 2020 9:50 AM

State election officials in some key battleground states have warned that it might take days to count the votes.

A shift to mail voting is increasing the chances that Americans will not know the winner of November's presidential race on election night. But that doesn't mean the results will be flawed or fraudulent, as Donald Trump suggested on Thursday.

Trump, seeking to undermine in advance the results of an election he could lose, demanded that the winner of the Nov. 3 contest be known that night.

"I don't want to be waiting around for weeks and months and literally, potentially if you really did it right, years, because you'll never know," Trump told reporters.

Trump has repeatedly raised unsubstantiated fears of fraud involving mail-in voting, which is expected to be more widely used in the November election out of concern for safety given the COVID-19 pandemic. On Thursday, as national and battleground state polls show Trump in political peril in his race against Democrat Joe Biden, he went even further, floating the idea of delaying the election until it could be conducted in person.
