A record-shattering 100 million Americans cast their ballots in the 2020 general election before polls opened Tuesday. CNN reports the millions of mail-in ballots are expected to lead to a delay in the counting of votes once the polls close. Nevertheless, President Donald Trump has continued to falsely claim that the count is supposed to be completed by Election Night. His stance is politically beneficial because more GOP voters are expected to show up on Election Day, while more Democrats are expected to vote through the mail. Even before polls opened on Election Day, both presidential camps were gearing up for legal confrontations. The changes to voting rules due to the pandemic sparked a litany of court cases over rules related to voting and the counting of ballots.
