通常来说，美国多数州在选举日（11月5日）当天投票结束后，就会立即开始清点选票。但由于美国幅员辽阔，东西横跨了多个时区，因此不同州的选举投票结束时间也不相同。这也就造成美国东部州的计票结果已经出炉时，西部的一些州甚至还没有结束投票。On November 5th, USA will hold the 60th presidential election, with current Vice President Harris facing former President Trump in a formal showdown.
On November 5th Eastern Time, the USA will hold the 60th presidential election, with current Vice President Harris facing off against former President Trump. At the same time, all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 34 seats in the Senate will also be up for re-election.
This election is bound to make history: if Harris wins, she will become the first female president in US history and the first US president of Asian descent. If Trump wins, he will become the first president since Grover Cleveland in the 1890s to be elected twice non-consecutively.
Usually, most states in the USA will start counting votes immediately after the polling ends on election day (November 5th). However, due to the vast expanse of the country spanning multiple time zones, the end times for voting in different states vary. This leads to situations where results are already out in eastern states while some western states are still voting.
If there is a clear outcome in key swing states, the election results could be announced as early as the day after the election (November 6th); but if these states are closely contested, final results might take several days to determine.
