White House ‘Warns’ Elections Results May Not Be Clear for ‘Days’ After Election
The 2022 midterm election results won’t be clear on Election Day and the final tally won’t come for “a few days,” warned White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday afternoon.
Her statement comes just hours before polls are slated to open in many locations across the United States, which will determine what party controls the House, Senate, or both. Many governor’s seats are also up for grabs.
“We may not know all the winners of elections for a few days. It takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner. That’s how this is supposed to work,” Jean-Pierre told reporters at the White House. “You heard the president say this last night,” she said.
Some politicians, including former President Jimmy Carter in a 2005 report, and other critics have said that delayed vote-counting efforts undermine Americans’ confidence in their elections and raise the risk of fraud.
Jean-Pierre added that President Joe Biden will address the country on Wednesday following the midterm results. If Republicans control both the Senate and House, they will be able to stymie Biden’s legislative agenda for the next two years, including on taxes, providing military funds to Ukraine, and potential COVID-19-related restrictions.
