CBS News reported that David Becker, its election law contributor and executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, said midterm election results could take a while. Becker spoke on Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, according to a CBS News video segment on his remarks.
CBS News summarized Becker's comments in one sentence. According to that summary, he reminded voters that the timing is the "normal process" and that elections might be close. The summary presents this as the reason results may take time.
The CBS News summary does not say how many ballots remained to be counted, which states or races Becker was discussing, or when final results would be available. It also does not include his full remarks, so any reasons he gave beyond the phrase cited above are not reported here.
The CBS News item lists no author. Its title frames the subject as the timing of the midterms' results, and its summary attributes the explanation to Becker's appearance on the program.
No other outlet's reporting on the midterm vote count was included in the material for this story. Any further detail about when results would be final is therefore not reported here, because CBS News did not provide it in the summary.
