The chances of sporadic violence, significant unrest or voting issues heading into Election Day are quite high.But all of us — Democrats, Republicans, independents alike — can do our part to minimize the drama and darker scenarios. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100
1. Vote and then chill until late Tuesday night. There will be dumb rumors, wild speculation and armchair projections, all of it meaningless. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100
2. Don't expect a quick, clear winner: We can't stress enough the chance of it taking days to fully count mail-in and absentee votes, to determine the real outcome in places like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100
3. Brace for the possibility of a "Red Mirage."
Because polling and modeling shows Republicans are more likely to vote in person and Democrats are more likely to vote by mail, early counts could look heavier for the GOP than the final result. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100

4. Only pay attention to sources of information you trust and can validate with 100% certainty. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100
5. Don’t overreact. You might see images on cable or social media of protests, or what seem like massive voter intimidation or issues. This can often seem bigger or more widespread than it is. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100
6. Expect that President Trump may refuse to accept results, if he loses.
Why? Because he has told us he will fight the voting rules and results all the way to the Supreme Court. Watch his actions more than his words. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100

7. Don’t hyperventilate about court cases. There will probably be many. But wait until there are actual verdicts and appeals to appraise the significance. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100
8. Brace yourself for 78 days of drama and turmoil from Nov. 4 through the inauguration.
No one working for Trump or Biden thinks the post-election period will be remotely normal. https://www.axios.com/election-night-how-to-watch-4731bd76-e0b8-4b4a-ba6f-324062e44de5.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=organic&utm_content=1100
