The 2020 Presidential Election is here. Will Donald Trump be reelected or Joe Biden unseat him? BEWARE! We may not know for several days, and it may look like Trump is ahead tonight, since his supporters are more likely to vote in-person and Biden's supporters are more likely to vote by mail.

The presidential election's Safe Harbor DeadlineTuesday, December 8, 2020
States have been canvassing, which is confirming every valid ballot cast and preparing reports. Then, they review and certify the election results, plus select and name electors. **After today, all legal disputes and recounts should be resolved, and Congress can't challenge any electors.

Countdown to

Electors meet and cast their ballots for presidentMonday, December 14, 2020
The 538 chosen electors must get together by state and officially vote for the candidate they pledged to support. If an elector defects from their candidate, which is rare, they can now be punished and removed. The governor certifies the results and sends the electors' ballots to Congress, to arrive by Dec. 23.

Then, three days later, they're led in a session by the president of the Senate - VP Mike Pence - to count the electoral votes and certify the winner, who will have at least 270.
