As thousands of counties and towns report vote totals, it can be hard to figure out when the results reported so far will reflect the outcome. The first report of the night might show a massive lead for one candidate, but why does that lead dwindle in some races and grow in others?

Ranked choice voting could decide which party controls the US House. How does it work?
An uncommon system of voting could be central to which party controls the U.S. House this fall — or even the presidency. In Maine and Alaska, voters in competitive congressional districts will elect a winner using ranked choice voting. Rather than cast a single vote for their preferred candidate, voters rank their choices in order of preference on the ballot.

Don't count on a recount to change the winner in close elections this fall. They rarely do
With the American electorate so evenly divided, there will be elections in November close enough that officials will have to recount the votes. “The (original) count is pretty accurate because the machines work — they work very well,” said Tammy Patrick, a former election official in Arizona who is now with the National Association of Election Officials.

Courts could see a wave of election lawsuits, but experts say the bar to change the outcome is high
When the Supreme Court stepped into the 2000 presidential race, Republican George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore were separated by a razor-thin margin. The court’s decision to halt the recount of votes in Florida effectively delivered the election to Bush and shaped the nation’s future. America's court system has no formal role in the election process, and judges generally try not to get involved because they don't want to be seen as interfering or shaping a partisan outcome, said Paul Schiff Berman, a professor at George Washington University Law School.

Trump unsuccessfully pressured fellow Republicans on an evenly divided board that had to sign off on Michigan's vote not to certify his loss in the state. On Jan. 6, 2021, he directed his supporters to march to the Capitol and stop Congress from taking the final step to certify that Democrat Joe Biden had won the presidency.
