With the 2024 presidential election just around the corner, Fox News Decision Desk chief Arnon Mishkin has warned that the results may not be finalized until four days after Election Day.
Mishkin’s comments, made during an interview with Politico, have sparked concern among voters, particularly those who are growing increasingly skeptical of the vote-counting process. Key states like Pennsylvania could experience delays due to the volume of mail-in ballots, causing the outcome to remain uncertain for days.
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

Many voters are frustrated by the fact that, before 2020, election results were typically confirmed within a day. Since the introduction of new voting methods and processes, delays have become more common, leading some to question whether these changes have made the system better or worse. The longer it takes to determine a winner, the more doubts are cast on the integrity of the process.
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

Mishkin emphasized that the race remains close, and the delays are partially due to the complexities of counting early and mail-in ballots. However, critics argue that the current system has become unnecessarily cumbersome. The delays, which have persisted since the 2020 election, are causing many Americans to lose faith in the election process.

For conservative voters, in particular, these delays are alarming. The slow reporting of results feeds into concerns about transparency and the accuracy of the vote count. Many are calling for a return to a simpler, more efficient process that delivers results in a timely manner.

As the 2024 election unfolds, it remains to be seen whether these delays will lead to broader demands for reform. What is clear is that voters want transparency, and they expect their voices to be heard promptly.
