Have they stopped counting. Some states are still showing partial results.

They’re still counting. Arizona still has 628,000 votes to process. Not that it’ll matter. Arizona is traditionally a red state and Trump will pick up another 11 electoral votes.

So its 2 days down the road and Arizona and Michigan still not declared?

How can there be such a delay. What if it had gone to the wire.

I think Trump is close to beating Hillary in the popular votes too so they want to delay as much as possible.

Hmmmm…let me think…the establishment?

Do you have a good reason why the results are delayed. Have they packed up and gone home? Just because Trump crossed the line? Would they have declared by now if the result had gone to the wire and the world was watching.

What is the reason that on 11 Nov. the full results have not yet been declared.
