Kamala Harris warns votes across country could 'take time' to count

As the long wait for Election Day finally draws to a close, Vice President Kamala Harris and her allies in the liberal mainstream media are suddenly pushing a bizarre message about vote counting.

According to Breitbart, Harris, whose chances of winning on Tuesday appeared to be waning over the past week, warned voters that we could experience a repeat of the 2020 election in that it could "take time" to count all of the votes.

She's presumably basing that off of the idea that, especially in swing states, the vote counts for each candidate could come down to razor-thin margins, though many believe that former President Donald Trump has the election in the bag.

The vice president posted the warning on her X account and drew mountains of criticism for it.

"America, the election is almost here. Here’s what to expect when polls close: The margins are going to be close, but our campaign is on track to win this election," Harris wrote.

Harris then predicted that Trump, whom she described as a "liar," will "falsely" claim victory after the polls close, noting that she's ready, legally, to ensure that the vote "will be counted fairly."

She added, "Americans all across the country are casting their votes in record numbers, ready to turn the page. It will take time to count every vote, and there may be swings in the count along the way. Donald Trump falsely claimed victory in 2020, and we expect that he will do it again. We know that he is a liar -- but the ballots will tell the truth. Stay patient, and know that every vote will be counted fairly.

"America’s election system is strong -- and it will not be interfered with by partisan actors. Our legal operation is ready to fight to protect every vote and make sure every last one is counted. Your vote is your voice, so get out and make yours heard," she added.

While many in the media have pushed the same message, that voting results could take days, or more, it all depends on whether or not the margins in the swing states are close, or if one candidate pulls ahead by a landslide.

If it's a landslide margin, Americans can expect to know the next president by the late-night hours of Tuesday.

Breitbart noted:

However, if the election comes down to one or two swing states with tight margins of victories, the election may very well roll into the following days as precincts collect mail-in and absentee ballots. According to CNN, experts say it is “unlikely Americans will go to bed on Election Day knowing who their next president will be.”

More than one polling analyst has suggested that Trump will win somewhat easily on Tuesday night.

Only time will tell. Let's pray they're right.
