State Laws Could Push Ballot Counting Beyond Election Day in Some Swing States

Nathan Worcester, The Epoch Times

Laws dictating how late mail-in ballots can be accepted differ from state to state. In some

of the 2024 swing states, the timeline could stretch days after Election Day, Nov. 5, based on when ballots are accepted, processed, and counted. Most of the battleground states let officials start processing mail-in and absentee ballots before Election Day, sometimes even weeks ahead of time—reducing the workload on Election Day and potentially speeding up the arrival of results. Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are exceptions.
