Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Sunday wouldn’t say whether her state’s election results will be announced on Nov.3.

During an interview with CBS’s “Face The Nation,” the Democratic governor was asked how long it will take for the state to be able to report the definitive results of the November presidential election. According to Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the state is already expecting delays in counting votes, meaning that the voters will be unlikely to know the results on election night.
