The Republican U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has once again set false expectations regarding the vote count for the U.S. election, insisting on a result on election night.
“We want the answer tonight,’’ the 78-year-old said at his final rally in Grand Rapids in the highly contested swing state of Michigan.

Trump had already stirred up sentiment in previous days with unsubstantiated allegations of electoral fraud.
The Republican is running against Democrat Kamala Harris, and it is shaping up to be a close race.
It is considered unlikely that the election result will be determined within a few hours after the polling stations close.
Postal votes, in particular, delay the counting process in some states.
