WASHINGTON — Election Day 2020 is almost here. While tens of millions of Americans have already voted early in-person or mailed in their ballots, many are still expected to head to the polls and cast their votes on Tuesday.
While states will begin to report results after polls close on Election Day, it could take some time to know who won because of the large number of mail-in votes.
Here are the poll closing times and the number of electoral votes for all 50 states. Remember, as long as you're in line by the time polls close, you can still cast your ballot.
