Exit Poll Results: Kamala Harris Wins in 'Swing States'

Exit poll data from Edison Research was released by Reuters.
According to predictions, Kamala Harris will win in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and North Carolina, while Trump will take the lead in Nevada and Pennsylvania. In Arizona, the score is currently tied, with both having 46% of the voters' support.
Voting is currently ongoing in these states.
After the voting ends, the counting of votes will begin, potentially deciding the election's outcome. Counting in the 'swing states' might take more Time than in others.
The vote count in North Carolina, Michigan, and Arizona is expected to be completed by morning. In other states, the counting will last several days.
To win the U.S. presidential election, candidates need to secure 270 out of 538 electoral votes. The number of electors for each state depends on the number of residents. Most states strongly favor one of the parties. However, there are 'swing' states where voter preferences can change. These include Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Arizona.
The most crucial of these for Trump and Harris is Pennsylvania with 19 electoral votes. Michigan and Georgia have 16 each, North Carolina has 15, Arizona has 11, Wisconsin has 10, and Nevada has 6.
The election victory will depend on who secures more electoral votes in the 'swing states'.
