Counting votes before, during, and after Election Day is a closely watched practice that has drawn both praise and criticism, depending on the state.
Some states have taken days to produce election results, while others report their results almost immediately. Variables that affect the timeliness of each state include race margins, how many mail-in ballots come in on or after Election Day, and whether a state has canvassed, or counted, pre-Election Day ballots ahead of time.
