Most states have systems to verify signatures on mail-in ballots that are slowing down the process.

According to the Brennan Center for Justice, in the past, slow counting in key states was one of the objectives of the disinformation campaign in the 2020 presidential elections.

In fact, they provided an excuse to the now ex-president donald trump (2017-2020) and their allies to claim without evidence that mail-in ballots had been stolen, a modality used mostly by voters of President Joe Biden.

The results of the federal Senate were known on Saturday, when the projections of the main US media gave the victory to the Democrats.

Biden’s party won control of the Upper House with 50 seats, after lawmaker Catherine Cortez Masto’s victory in the key state of Arizona.
