I think it will be so tight that many states will not certify the results until all the absentee ballots are counted. Also, the new voting machines in many areas will generate more than the usual number of lawsuits. Meaning it may be weeks before we know who the actual winner is.
Sorry, but the differences between the major political parties are so small that many people, in effect, toss a coin before voting. That is what is making the pluralities so small, and triggering all the follow on problems.
