Midterm Election Results May Take Time to Finalize

• Election results may not be immediately available on election night, which is normal.
• In past elections, there have been instances of delayed results due to the counting of late-arriving ballots.
• There is no evidence that delayed results are signs of fraud.
• Elected leaders, candidates, and social media users have spread falsehoods about delayed results being indicative of fraud.
• The counting process can take time, especially in Democratic-led cities.
