CNN: ‘It Could Take Many Days’ Before Georgia Declares Who Won the Election in Their State

KEILAR Break this down ░░░░░░░░ us because we do ░░░░░░░░ this reminder every few ░░░░░░░░ WOLF Every few years ░░░░░░░░ you can go back ░░░░░░░░ 2016 It s the ░░░░░░░░ memory at this point ░░░░░░░░ Hillary Clinton conceded the ░░░░░░░░ She was behind in ░░░░░░░░ popular vote We all ░░░░░░░░ she ultimately won the ░░░░░░░░ vote if that s ░░░░░░░░ thing that you can ░░░░░░░░ Four years later and ░░░░░░░░ 2016 that s mostly ░░░░░░░░ of these states like ░░░░░░░░ or Washington where they ░░░░░░░░ all these mail in ░░░░░░░░ very late They kind ░░░░░░░░ trickle in Four years ░░░░░░░░ in 2020 we all ░░░░░░░░ to bed or those ░░░░░░░░ us who did sleep ░░░░░░░░ night went to bed ░░░░░░░░ were still eight states ░░░░░░░░ we didn t know ░░░░░░░░ the results were going ░░░░░░░░ be Seven of them ░░░░░░░░ still battlegrounds So I ░░░░░░░░ and it took days ░░░░░░░░ Let s look at ░░░░░░░░ one of those key ░░░░░░░░ from 2016 It was ░░░░░░░░ days At 4 46 ░░░░░░░░ I think in the ░░░░░░░░ on November 6 Election ░░░░░░░░ was November 3 that ░░░░░░░░ when Biden finally took ░░░░░░░░ lead And we say ░░░░░░░░ the lead That s ░░░░░░░░ of the wrong way ░░░░░░░░ look at it He ░░░░░░░░ had the lead We ░░░░░░░░ hadn t counted the ░░░░░░░░ And a lot of ░░░░░░░░ comes down to these ░░░░░░░░ in votes It s ░░░░░░░░ to take them out ░░░░░░░░ envelopes to verify signatures ░░░░░░░░ do all this stuff ░░░░░░░░ of these states like ░░░░░░░░ have made changes So ░░░░░░░░ should make things go ░░░░░░░░ lot quicker this year ░░░░░░░░ we re just going ░░░░░░░░ have to see SANCHEZ ░░░░░░░░ different states have different ░░░░░░░░ And so as the ░░░░░░░░ are counted you see ░░░░░░░░ percentages change and potentially ░░░░░░░░ I wonder though taking ░░░░░░░░ of that into account ░░░░░░░░ should we have an ░░░░░░░░ of when the race ░░░░░░░░ going to be called ░░░░░░░░ So Georgia s secretary ░░░░░░░░ state said that by ░░░░░░░░ time polls close they ░░░░░░░░ have a lot of ░░░░░░░░ ballots processed And he ░░░░░░░░ by 8 00 PM ░░░░░░░░ election night they should ░░░░░░░░ up to 70 percent ░░░░░░░░ their votes in Georgia ░░░░░░░░ that s great But ░░░░░░░░ it s really close ░░░░░░░░ might not matter It ░░░░░░░░ take many days There ░░░░░░░░ be overseas ballots that ░░░░░░░░ have to count provisional ░░░░░░░░ all of these things ░░░░░░░░ a very tight election ░░░░░░░░ you do might not ░░░░░░░░ And then there are ░░░░░░░░ like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin ░░░░░░░░ efforts to reform the ░░░░░░░░ have stalled essentially So ░░░░░░░░ re not counting these ░░░░░░░░ these mail in ballots ░░░░░░░░ re not processing them ░░░░░░░░ So things could go ░░░░░░░░ there And in a ░░░░░░░░ tight election it could ░░░░░░░░ a while I mean ░░░░░░░░ record we all remember ░░░░░░░░ 36 days Hopefully it ░░░░░░░░ not that this year.”
