What is a ‘red mirage’? Is it happening now?
An Election Day “red” or “blue mirage” is when a candidate leads early after the polls close until other methods of votes are counted.
That means that quick ballot counts — and the mirages they create — aren’t always good indicators of the candidate who will ultimately win.
For example, Trump has an early lead right after polls closed on the East Coast because Republican voters tend to cast their ballots in person, while Democrats are more likely to vote by mail.
NewsNation’s political editor, Chris Stirewalt, says that what appears to be shifts in voting patterns through election night is actually just a predictable pattern based on how different areas count their votes.
“It doesn’t matter which piece you put in, first or last in a puzzle. It doesn’t change the picture. The image remains the same,” Stirewalt said.

When will Pennsylvania election results be called?
Vital battleground state Pennsylvania holds some of the highest stakes on election night. With 19 electoral votes, Trump and Harris know it could mean the outcome of the election. But results from the consequential state could take time.
Pennsylvania state law prohibits early vote counting. That restriction, combined with county-by-county reporting autonomy, means early results may not reflect the outcome.
More than two million voters in the state requested mail-in ballots for this election.
