US election: Trump insists result must be announced same night

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has once again raised false expectations about vote counts for the upcoming election by insisting on an election night result.
“We want the answer tonight,” the 78-year-old said at his final rally in the swing state of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In the days leading up to the election, Trump has already fueled concerns with unverified claims of voter fraud.

He faces Democrat Kamala Harris, and the race is expected to be close.

It is uncertain that election results will be finalized just hours after voting closes, especially because of delays caused by mail-in ballots in some states.

Remember that after the 2020 presidential election, Trump prematurely declared himself the winner on election night and called for a stop to the vote counting while temporarily leading against Joe Biden.
