US Voters Told To Be Patient with Presidential Election Results

Jeff Seldin

   WASHINGTON - Officials charged with securing the upcoming U.S.
   presidential election warn the greatest danger may come from a wave of
   disinformation unleashed by U.S. adversaries in the hours after polls
   across the country begin to close.

   The officials fear that is when the country will be most vulnerable,
   with many Americans expecting to see a winner declared on Election Day.
   But because of the heavy reliance this year on mail-in and absentee
   ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic, those results may not come
   election night or even the next day.
