According to BlockBeats, Michigan officials are optimistic about announcing the final unofficial results of today's election by Wednesday noon, or possibly earlier. This confidence stems from new regulations allowing election staff to begin processing absentee ballots starting October 28.
Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson informed reporters on Monday that this year's election process is slightly different but more efficient. She noted that staff had already begun pre-processing ballots last week and feeding them into machines, which should expedite the counting process.
It is important to note that most of Michigan operates on Eastern Standard Time, which is 13 hours behind Beijing Time (UTC+8). Therefore, when it is noon on Wednesday in Eastern Standard Time, it will be 1 a.m. on November 7 in Beijing.
