Vote counting, legal challenges and concessions: What to expect on election night

 "Fox & Friends" co-hosts Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones broke down the vote-counting process, legal challenges and other pivotal aspects that could shape the outcome of the 2024 election on Sunday.

The pair reviewed how long it has taken to declare a victor in recent presidential elections going back to 2000. The presidential elections in 2016, 2012, 2008 and 2004 were all declared either on Election Night or the following morning.

Meanwhile, the 2000 election wasn't decided until the Supreme Court intervened on December 12. The 2020 election also wasn't decided until four days after Election Day.

Kilmeade then went on to explain why there "might be a little bit of a delay" in getting the results for the 2024 election. The delay largely arises from the increased number of mail-in ballots as opposed to in-person votes on Election Day.

Many states have laws mandating that mail-in ballots cannot begin getting counted until Election Day. Others have laws saying they cannot be counted until after polls close on Election Day, further delaying the process.
