A note about this election

To find out who wins this year’s contests up and down the ballot will require patience. The pandemic has transformed how this election is being run in many states. The vast number of ballots cast by mail before Election Day could lengthen the amount of time it takes to count all the votes. But that won’t mean there are problems with the results.
