The American offseason is on November 8th, and we probably have a very good idea of ​​who will hold the balance of power that night. However, this was not the case in the last US election, and may not be the case again on Tuesday. Counting votes is full of different systems, overcounting and slow processes. If it’s too close to call, it takes a while to figure it out, but that’s not all. In Georgia, we could see a repeat of 2020 in one of the tightest races. Last time, neither candidate received 50 percent of the vote, so it went to a runoff that ultimately gave Democrats 50 seats and control of the Senate. This ultimately proved decisive, allowing them to pass several stimulus bills. Polls for that race, , , show Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver with 3 to percent of the vote. If that is enough to prevent either Warnock or Walker from gaining a majority, there would not be a round until December 6, leaving the balance of power in doubt. Pennsylvania has an equally tight race between Dr. Oz and John Fetterman. In this state, mail-in ballots are not counted until the day after Election Day, which can take days. Arizona is also primarily contested by mail-in ballot and was one of the last decided battleground states in 2020. The state also has an automatic 0.5 percent conversion rate. Add possibility that candidates will refuse to accept results and it can be empty.
