“Probably control of the Senate will be decided by a few close races,” suspects an expert. Therefore, one will have to be patient with the result.
According to an expert, the outcome of the congressional elections on November 8 in the USA may not be known for several days or even weeks.
“Probably control of the Senate will be decided by a few close races,” constitutional lawyer Gregory Magarian from Washington University in St. Louis told the German Press Agency. There could be days of uncertainty over the vote count — and potentially legal challenges to the results, he said. “So it wouldn’t surprise me if it took weeks or at least days for some of the close elections to be decided and for us to know the result in the Senate.”
US President Joe Biden had called on citizens to be patient with regard to the results on Wednesday. More and more votes are being cast early or by mail, Biden said. In many states, counting only begins after the polling stations have closed. “This means that in some cases we won’t know who won the election until a few days after the election,” he said. “It takes time to legally and properly count all legitimate ballots.”
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and around a third of the seats in the Senate will be reassigned next Tuesday in the “midterms” elections in the USA – the middle of Biden’s term in office. In addition, gubernatorial elections are pending in various states. According to polls, the Republicans have a good chance of winning the majority in the House of Representatives. A tight race for the majority is predicted for the Senate.
If the majority there were to be in a seat in the state of Georgia – as in 2020 – a runoff election would be necessary there four weeks later. In Georgia, a runoff occurs when no candidate gets more than 50 percent in the first attempt. The race in the traditionally more republican state in the south is one of the most exciting. Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock is considered a shaky candidate. Republican Herschel Walker is the challenger.
