Waiting to Exhale
If you stay up late expecting to hear who won the presidential race tonight, you might be disappointed. That race, and many others across the state, are expected to be tight. Some ballots are processed later than others, and close contests could lead to recounts.
“If it’s two days later, that’s not a sign of negligence, nor is it a sign of somebody doing the wrong thing,” explained Chris Cooper, director of the Public Policy Institute at Western Carolina University. “The smaller the margin, the longer it’s going to take.”
Here’s what you need to know about when and how results will be tabulated.
