In some presidential races, the victor has been named late on election night, or early the next morning.This time, the knife-edge race in many states could complicate how quickly media outlets project a winner. Narrow victories could also mean recounts.In the key swing state of Pennsylvania, for example, a recount would be required if there’s a half-percentage-point difference between the votes cast for the winner and loser. In 2020, the margin was just over 1.1 percentage points.But we are getting projected results from states with the most predictable voting patterns.
