Q2. How important do you think it is that the result of this presidential election is known on election night, and do you think it will be known that night?
Note: For the sake of argument, we will say the result is known when the Associated Press calls a winner, and that election night ends at 3am Wednesday morning. Also note, some swing states, such as PA and WI, do not start processing mail-in ballots until election day.
