As the U.S. election night unfolds, voters are poised to witness a historic contest marked by an unexpected candidate switch and two assassination attempts on one candidate. Polls remain tight as results begin to trickle in after midnight. The complex Electoral College system means that swing states will play a crucial role in determining the winner. States like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania are pivotal battlegrounds. However, early results could be misleading, leading to potential Red and Blue mirages. Delays in counting mail-in ballots may prolong the announcement of a final outcome.
