Jean-Pierre: ‘We May Not Know All the Winners of Elections for a Few Days’

TRANSCRIPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: "It took two weeks to call every state. In modern elections, more and more ballots are being cast in early voting and also by mail, and many states don’t start counting those ballots until after the ballots — after — pardon me, after the polls close on November 8. So, you heard the President say this the other night. He has been very clear on this as well. We may not know all the winners of elections for a few days. It takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner. That’s how — that’s how this is supposed to work, and it’s important for us to all be patient when — while the votes are being counted."
