This article argues that the mail-in ballots will favor Democrats, and that close calls on election night will turn into clear wins for Democrats once all the mail-in ballots are counted. With people being used to news media "calling" the election on election night, before the result is official, and with Trump calling the legitimacy of the election into doubt, it could get messy.

- scsilver 6y agoThe interesting part is him pulling off this stalemate and not having a clear winner doesnt result in the president gaining legal power past the end of his term, it just puts the power back to the house (if the states have their elections, with pelosi likely being acting president) or the senate if no house memebers are elected, Republicans losing 23 to 12 democratic senators this term. If there is no election dems regain the executive and the senate.
