2024 Electoral College map may show "blue shift" due to mail-in voting delays in key states.

The 2024 Electoral College map may show another "blue shift," influenced by varying ballot counting speeds between states. Urban areas, which lean Democratic and utilize more mail-in voting, often report results later than rural, Republican-leaning counties. Key states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin do not allow early processing of mail-in ballots, potentially leading to delays. If the presidential race is close, patience will be necessary to grasp the final results.
