When will we see election results for the battleground states of Arizona and Pennsylvania? Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says the state "will have official results in about 10 to 13 days," though he notes that media organizations will likely project the state's winner earlier. Pennsylvania's top elections official, Al Schmidt, says the state is at "a unique disadvantage" because counties cannot start processing mail-in ballots until the morning of Election Day, but new equipment and a decrease in mail voting should "contribute to knowing results earlier." #news #politics #arizona #pennsylvania #ElectionDay #election2024 #vote

JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, says he thinks Pennsylvania election officials are "doing a better job than they were in 2020," and "our elections are in a pretty good spot in 2024," though he suggests there could be lawsuits if "we see evidence" of illegal actions. "I think Pennsylvanians, Republicans, Democrats, independents, should have confidence in the elections here.” #news #politics #trump #vance #pennsylvania #election2024 #ElectionDay #vote
