This is how the US election night will be on news during the presidential election – news Urix – Foreign news and documentaries

There is a six hour time difference from Norway to the east coast of the USA. The first polls close at 6pm American time, midnight in Norway. Normally, an American election is decided in the morning in Norway. But last time we had to wait until the weekend. Here is a guide to the results you will get tonight. This is how the election coverage will be on news From and with Dagsnytt18 on Wednesday and right up until after the Dagsrevyen on Thursday, you can follow a 26-hour long live broadcast on news.no, news TV, NRK1 and on news Radio and the channel Alltid Nyheter. news’s ​​election broadcasts will feature experts, pundits, correspondents and other guests throughout the night and morning. You will always be able to be fully updated also via news.no, where we have both news Answers where you can ask questions and a separate page with short ongoing messages throughout the election campaign. Midnight The first two states close their polling stations in Indiana and Kentucky. But the states are divided between two time zones, and Donald Trump has to wait another hour to collect his first partial victory. The election results throughout the night will roughly come from the east first and then further west as polling stations close in the various time zones. At 01.00: The first seesaw state Now it begins in earnest. While Trump can get his first two victories in the states that partially closed at midnight, Kamala Harris will probably get a quick clarification in tiny Vermont. The first of the decisive swing states closes: Georgia has 16 electors, and is a relatively large state. It will be possible to see trends in Georgia early on, but this could quickly become the state where the political tug-of-war lasts the longest in the days and weeks to come. It was here that Donald Trump last called the governing authorities in the state to find 11,780 votes. Trump is indicted for this. In important and large Florida, they start counting in the vast majority of counties. Florida used to be an even state, but it is expected that Donald Trump is in control here now. At 01.30: At half-time, they conclude the voting in the swing state of North Carolina (16 electors who can be completely decisive) and in the former swing state of Ohio. Ohio has been considered a tie in many presidential elections, but it illustrates an important political shift in the “rust belt” that Trump can feel confident of victory in the state he has painted a gloomy picture of. He has claimed that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are dogs and cats. North Carolina is one of the swing states that usually count quickly, but this autumn the state was badly hit by Hurricane Helene, and there is some tension as to whether this will affect the capacity for the election. ON THE TITLE: What exactly is a swing state, and why are they so important in the American election? At 02.00: Results race Stay awake until 02.00! Then we can expect a flurry of results. At this time it is 8 pm in the eastern time zone in the USA, and polling stations close in 18 states. Harris can expect to be declared that she will get electors from east coast states such as Massachusetts and New Jersey quite soon after closing time. In the south, the same will happen for Trump in states such as Mississippi and Alabama. The counting in important Pennsylvania starts now, but the worst predictions say that we may have to wait for the results from there for several days. When Biden was elected president, it was the announcement of the victory in Pennsylvania that was decisive. But then almost four days had passed since the election, and it was Saturday. The census in large Texas also mainly starts now. No state is as close to immigration from South and Central America as Texas, and none has stricter abortion laws either. Although anything other than a Trump victory will be a bombshell in Texas, the results are interesting. 03:00: The Midwest closes its doors Arkansas is the only state that closes at 0230 before 12 new states that are mostly in the middle of the country close the doors to the polls at 0300. The most important swing states that have remained open so far are Wisconsin and Arizona. Now there will also be a count in Nebraska, which distributes the electors in a different way than the winner gets everything. Most likely, Harris will get one of Trump’s four electors in the state. One can decide the presidential election in a given situation. In the metropolis of New York, the polls are open longer than in other states in the east. The prize for winning the state is high, 28 votes, and it goes to Harris. The winner will probably be announced shortly after closing time. Early morning: The rest close Now we are all the way to the west of the USA, and in four states most things close at 0400, while populous California and the other two with the coast to the west close at 0500. Out in the Pacific and in the north, blue Hawaii and red Alaska remain open to 0600 and 0700, but here there is little excitement linked to the result. So we’ll have to wait… Or? When tonight’s election broadcast on NRK1 has switched to Nyhetsmorgen mode, it is likely that several of the seven swing states have not yet been decided. The Associated Press, which is news’s ​​number supplier, has warned that it may take time to tally up the final result. There are several reasons for that. One reason is that there is a lot of advance voting. There are different rules in different states. In Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, there are rules which mean that you may not start processing advance votes until election day itself. It will take time to do that once they get started. In other states, they accept votes from abroad, for example military personnel on duty, several days after the election. That in itself need not mean that the result is undecided, but if it is as tight as the polls have suggested, one may have to wait for such votes. TRUMP: Many are curious about what will happen if Donald Trump becomes president again. The fact that the election seems to be jammed in the swing states is in itself a reason why the declaration of a winner may take time. If it says decimals, the American media will probably be 100 percent sure before they determine a winner in a state. news follows the result decisions announced by the Associated Press (AP) news agency. AP says they declare a winner in a state only when it is mathematically impossible for the other candidate to catch up with the leader. But perhaps the election is not as close as the polls have predicted? If the margins are large enough, the TV channels and news, through the numbers supplier AP, will conclude who has won the presidential election on Wednesday morning. Published 05.11.2024, at 17.42
