Democrats are estimated to be more inclined to vote by mail, which can ultimately become the key factor in 3-N and delay the final result by even several days in the most contested states like Pennsylvania.

Several states have decided to give citizens special facilities to cast their votes in advance, a factor that has become a weapon during the campaign.
