Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar (D) predicted on Sunday that it’ll be a “matter of days†for all of the ballots to be counted in the key swing state.
Boockvar told NBC News’s “Meet the Press†that 2.4 million Pennsylvanians have already voted by mail and that she estimates there will be 10 times as many mail-in ballots than in 2016, adding “it will take longer.â€
“I expect that the overwhelming majority of ballots in Pennsylvania, that's mail-in and absentee ballots, as well as in-person ballots, will be counted within a matter of days,†she said. “The counties are staffing up, have a ton of equipment, best practices in place, and are planning, for the most part, to count 24/7 until it's done.â€
The secretary of state also noted that military and overseas ballots have “until a full week after Election Day†to be counted.
