Election Day will take place in the U.S. on November 5, but most analysts and experts don't expect to be able to declare a president on that same day. And even though waiting times are expected to be shorter than four years ago, there are still some races and processes that could experience notable delays and keep the country waiting, especially if they take place in battleground states.
With five days to go, the focus is now on potential recounts in the seven states expected to determine the outcome of the election. They have different rules regarding recounts, considering elections are administered locally. And one of them in particular could be determined by the candidates themselves, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
