Late ballots may put Congress in limbo

The Journal Gazette | Fort Wayne, IN: "The nation may be waiting well beyond Election Day this year to find out who won control of Congress.
It’s a troubling ballot-box scenario that has hundreds of lawyers from both parties preparing for battles that could drag on days, weeks or even months past the Nov. 3 day-after.
Some states don’t count substantial amounts of votes until after Election Day. Others require mail-in ballots to be postmarked – not received – by Nov. 2, leaving the tally until well afterward."
