While some networks have called the election for Biden, the process is far from over. So why don\u2019t we have a final tally on election night? As the Independent points out:<\/p>\n<p>An unprecedented number of Americans &#8211; 97 million by Monday, well over twice the number from 2016 &#8211; have voted by mail. And some states will count ballots that are delivered after the election if they are postmarked by a deadline. In Washington state, for example, mail-in ballots can still be counted on November 23. In Alaska state officials don\u2019t even begin counting mail-in ballots until around November 10.<\/p>\n<p>[tp no_translate=&#8221;y&#8221;]<strong>Free Resources: <a
