A winner could be determined as early as Wednesday, but the process requires time due to varying state protocols regarding the counting of ballots, including mail-ins.
The remaining swing states - Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona - are critical, with Trump currently leading in several, making Harris's path to victory narrower.
In 48 states, all Electoral College votes go to the winning candidate, encouraging strategies to win even by a slim margin, as total votes matter less.
The counting delays across states arise from different regulations; some states only allow ballot counting to begin on Election Day, leading to extended wait times.
