When will we know the results?
This year, in addition to the burning question of “Who will win?” people are almost as eager to know, “When will we know the results?”
To help answer that, FiveThirtyEight published a comprehensive guide to following the returns on election night, including when the polls close in each state and what time we might get semi-final results.
You can walk through election night hour by hour, using the forecast as a guide to get a better understanding of just how many electoral votes might be accounted for, including how many Trump and Biden can each expect to win.
Spoiler: Unless one of them has a really good night, it’s unlikely that either will hit 270 electoral votes on election night.
