More people than ever before will be voting by mail in the 2020 presidential election — and it could significantly impact the 2020 election results.

This means that unless one candidate wins by a landslide, it’s going to take longer than usual to count all the votes and verify a winner because mail-in ballots take longer to collect and count. It also means that the longer it takes to declare a winner, the likelihood of a contested election goes up. And with Trump in the picture, we have to be as vigilant as we can to make sure every vote is counted.
