Why counting in US takes much longer than India

Election Day has arrived, but a clear result may not come immediately in this unprecedented, tense race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. With over 78 million early votes cast, counting will be lengthy, especially in battleground states where vote-processing rules vary. Delays could lead to legal challenges if either candidate disputes the outcome, invoking memories of January 6, 2021. Both campaigns are ready for prolonged litigation, and patience will be essential as the nation awaits a final, definitive outcome.
