Fox News Decision Desk chief Arnon Mishkin has suggested that Americans may have to wait up to four days after Election Day to learn the winner of the 2024 presidential election.
Mishkin made the comments during an interview with Politico, citing delays in vote-counting processes in key swing states like Pennsylvania. This projection has raised concerns, particularly among conservative voters who have grown increasingly skeptical of the voting process.
Why did FOX news say it could take 4 days to call the election? Why the hell would it take that long? And they wonder why we question the election. https://t.co/GxSUyrHUR7

IMPORTANT! I know you guys at Fox have influence! Talk to Republican reps about the states that have already said they will take 3-4 days to report election results! (MI, GA, etc) the republican leaders should hold their results until dems announce

The fact that elections used to be decided within hours of polls closing is not lost on many. The 2020 election marked a shift, introducing delays that left many Americans questioning the results. Now, with predictions of another drawn-out count, there is growing suspicion about whether these delays are part of a broader problem with the system.
Mishkin pointed to the close nature of the race and the complexity of counting mail-in ballots as factors that could delay the announcement of the winner. His suggestion that we may not know the results until days after Election Day is a stark reminder of the changes that have taken place since 2020. For many voters, these changes have not brought about the improvements promised, but instead have created more confusion.

The frustration with these delays is palpable, especially among those who want to see a return to quicker, clearer results. With millions of Americans already expressing their dissatisfaction, the 2024 election could see a renewed push for reform in how votes are counted.
