Election night cheat sheet: Timings and tips for tracking the results

About 80 million voters have already cast ballots, tens of millions more will line up today, and it's all likely to come down to seven swing states, Axios' Dave Lawler and Erica Pandey write.



Why it matters: We may or may not know the winner by sunrise.

But key counties will give you a sense of where we're headed:



The Harris campaign expects near-complete results tonight from three swing states — Georgia, Michigan and North Carolina — along with most of Wisconsin's results by tomorrow morning.

Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada will likely be counting ballots through tomorrow and beyond.

The move comes after Secretary of State Jane Nelson said state law bars federal monitors from being inside polling locations. Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office also wants to block monitors from future elections.

The Justice Department regularly sends monitors across the country to keep an eye out for potential voting rights violations during major elections.



The agency said on Friday that monitors would be on the ground in 86 jurisdictions in 27 states. The Texas counties are Atascosa, Bexar, Dallas, Frio, Harris, Hays, Palo Pinto and Waller counties.

Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and North Carolina, and leads in the other three swing states — Michigan, Arizona and Nevada.

Axios.


Women: They still largely preferred Harris over Trump — but not with the margins or the level of turnout her campaign needed to win.

Harris won roughly 54% of women, according to NBC News and CNN exit polls. Biden took 57% in the same polls four years ago.

 Young voters: Harris won 52% of 18- to 20-year-olds. But that was down from the 61% who voted for Biden in 2020, according to the AP's VoteCast.

Trump won a greater share of the under-30 vote than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008, according to NBC's exit polls.

Wow, 61% to 52% is a big drop and I can not believe Trump won a greater share of the under-30 vote than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008
