In the United States, voting began early and will go on until
tuesday night. Will
trump make a comeback, or will Kamala
harris become the first female president? When will they find out who will win? The greatest suspense at the moment is this. There is no simple solution; sometimes the findings can be known in a matter of days, and other times they can be known quickly. It was not until
saturday that Joe Biden was proclaimed the victor of the previous election. Projecting the
winner on
election night is a thing of the past, but this year it may go any way.
Wednesday might happen, but a lot relies on important states like
pennsylvania and other factors, like if one candidate has a significant enough lead over the other to decide the winner. Thus, there will be a long period of suspense.
Interestingly, the first
tuesday following the first
monday in
november is always the day of the U.S. elections. Tuesdays have been the day of 46 presidential
elections to date (1848–2024). Since the U.S. agriculture economy has completely transformed, many
people believe that this
tuesday custom, which was established to give farmers time to harvest crops and avoid
sunday religious observances, is completely irrelevant.
