Michigan may need as long as a week after Nov. 3 to tally the votes from the general election since the state’s rules prohibit officials from processing mailed absentee ballots before Election Day, according to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
“We should be prepared for this to be closer to an election week as opposed to an Election Day. The bottom line is we are not going to have the full results and accounting of all of our ballots on election night. We already know that,” Benson told NBC.
