Former President Donald Trump said the U.S. should have a system to know results on election night .

The alternative to machine tabulation is hand counts, which pose logistical challenges.

Paper ballots are not the reason we don’t know election results on Election Night .

Michigan , Georgia , and Pennsylvania have announced that they will not have election results available on Election night .

In 2020 , Election Day was Tuesday, Nov. 3 , and The Associated Press said Saturday Nov. 7 that Joe Biden won Pennsylvania and therefore the presidency.

Pennsylvania Republicans rejected a bill that would have allowed earlier processing of mail ballots, because they wanted it tied to voter ID requirements.

Some states, including Florida , allow mail ballot processing weeks before Election Day .

Hurricane Helene , which devastated western North Carolina in late September , has prompted some changes in voting sites and rules, but the changes are not expected to affect the timing of statewide results. The Legislature ordered more early voting sites in two western North Carolina counties..
