Election Fever: When Will We Finally Know Who's the Winner?

Election Day is almost here! Find out when to expect the results and some fun facts about the 2024 Presidential Election!

As America gears up for the 2024 presidential election, anticipation is building for what promises to be a nail-biting race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. Polls and predictions are pouring in with just one day left until voters head to the polls, sparking curiosity about when we will know the winner and what the final results will reveal. In the chaotic landscape of U.S. politics, knowing the voting time is crucial, and we’re here to break it down!

On Election Day, November 5, 2024, millions of Americans will flock to polling places, some casting their ballots early while others opt to vote in person. In states like Arizona, polls will open bright and early at 8 a.m., where just a few years ago, President Biden snagged a victory margin of 0.3%. Such thin margins in battleground states could be the deciding factor in who claims victory in the upcoming election. It’s worth keeping an eye on these states as results roll in!

As the clock ticks toward closing time, different states will be wrapping up voting at different hours. Georgia, a key player in this election, will be among the first to close at 7 p.m. ET, while states like Hawaii and Alaska will keep the polls open until midnight ET. This staggered timing means that we may be left in suspense as we await ballots from states with closer races. The wait may feel a bit like watching a cliffhanger season finale of your favorite show, but with more at stake!

So, when exactly will results start pouring in? Historically, it took four days post-election in 2020 to declare a winner, so don’t expect instant answers. The Associated Press will hold tight on calling races until all votes are counted. To add some light-hearted fun to the whole election drama, did you know that in 2020, more than **100 million Americans** voted early? Now, let’s hope they don’t turn up to the wrong polling station!

In a twist of fate, only two Democrats have carried Arizona in almost seventy years—making it a battleground state worth watching! And here's a quirky fact: the U.S. hasn’t had a tie in the electoral college since 1876, so let’s hope for a dramatic reveal and a clear winner to put those ancient ghost stories to rest!
