Senior officials urge Election Day patience, while Trump calls for fast results


(CNN) Senior Department of Homeland Security officials on Tuesday urged patience from voters and warned that election results won't likely be known on Election Day this year -- comments that are in contrast with those of President Donald Trump, who has said he wants immediate results. "There's a very good chance that we will not know the winner of the presidential election, for instance, on election night itself. It's because of the additional security measures in place," Ken Cuccinelli, a Trump appointee in the number two job at DHS, said during a news briefing. When pressed by CNN on whether Trump's comments calling for fast results make it harder to get out the "patience" message, Cuccinelli said he understood where the President was coming from. We'll have some results on Election Day.
