Election observers worry that delays in counting mail ballots could give the public a false sense of who’s winning the election.
In Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, election officials are still barred from beginning to process mail ballots before 7 a.m. on Election Day – even though election workers in both states have clamored for change.
Georgia's State Election Board members discuss proposals for election rule changes at the State Capitol in Atlanta on September 20, 2024.
The new law could delay by an hour or more – depending on the county – the posting of unofficial early results, state election officials have said.
In Maricopa County, the general election ballot covers both sides of two pages – twice the length of the ballot voters encountered four years ago.
