Experts are already predicting the country may not have a president-elect on election night, especially with swing states passing new or altering state laws regarding how Americans will vote, tally ballots, and administer and certify November’s election.
For instance, Georgia and Arizona will both require election workers to do hand counts at polling sites on Election Day. Election officials say it could delay the reporting of results.
Here's what polls are predicting how swing states may vote in the upcoming election, as of October 1:
