The winner or projected-winner of the presidential race might not be clear on election night next week as officials in swing states warn that final vote tallies will take time.
The Associated Press top editor overseeing the election night team noted that the availability of the full count varies state-by-state.
"We start with the fact that we're not calling races until we're certain that there is a winner, right? And if that means that we have to wait for all the ballots to be counted and a race to go all the way to certification, we wait. And we have done that, and we still do that in some races that are exceptionally close and that are exceptionally tight," said David Scott during an interview with National Public Radio.
