While we don't yet know who the next president will be, Barry L. Nothing changes between election day and inauguration day on Jan.
They might write new executive orders or issue presidential pardons while they still have the chance. Conversely, the president-elect does not receive any presidential power until they are officially sworn in. The answer is yes. According to the 22nd Amendment to the U. Constitution "no person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice. So, if he isn't re-elected this time, Trump would be eligible to run again, unlike George W.
Bush or Barack Obama, for example. Roosevelt is the only U. In fact, he held the office a record four times from until his death in Roosevelt won his third term as the U. Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are really the odd exceptions here.
No state will count mail votes that are postmarked after Election Day some require the postmark to be the day before. And many states have a hard deadline of counting only mailed ballots that arrive on or before Election Day. But some states are a bit more generous to procrastinators, so long as their ballot is postmarked by Election Day or before.
For instance, Pennsylvania currently plans to count ballots arriving up to three days after Election Day though the US Supreme Court could change that. North Carolina will count ballots arriving up to nine days after. And Ohio will count ballots received up to 10 days after the election, though they must be postmarked the day before the election or earlier. Some states also have different deadlines for overseas and military voters. Remember, the ballots must be postmarked on Election Day or before.
So the bulk of the outstanding vote will likely come in a few days after the election, with fewer and fewer stragglers as the days pass. After those first few days, the remaining ballots trickling in would only be relevant in an extraordinarily close election. Starting ballot processing early is a no-brainer, but the decision on when to set the deadline for mailed ballots involves a trade-off between two goals. A strict Election Day deadline helps speed up the count, but a more lenient deadline helps more votes be counted.
And here again, President Trump has tried to disingenuously portray late-arriving mail votes as fraudulent. Finally, there are also other, more ordinary reasons votes could be slow to count. Urban areas often take longer to complete their tallies than suburban or rural ones. Non-swing states like California, New York, and Washington have histories of counting slowly, which explained most of why the popular vote moved from a tie on election night to a 2. California, however, has added three extra weeks of ballot processing time this year.
But when it comes to the Electoral College, the big picture is that Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin appear the least likely to produce speedy results on election night. It took more than two weeks and three recounts before both races were decided.
