When will The Post report results? In some states, the increase in mail ballots and early in-person voting means we’ll get earlier results; in others, it means more results may come in more slowly. As a result, The Post will be cautious when drawing conclusions about the state of a race and in displaying results. Historical election results and additional data on county income and education was supplied by Decision Desk HQ/0ptimus Analytics, which also helped advise on and test the model. Finally, the model will adjust in real time as live results are delivered from Edison Research, The Post’s results provider, offering insights into how certain types of counties are performing.
