They believe that helps them so that they then get maybe a narrow advantage in the Electoral College on Election Day," Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee, alleged. "So we've got to have a massive legal operation, and I know the Biden campaign is working on that."

Many political observers have said it is unlikely a winner will be able to be declared on Election Day due to the delays that come with mail-in voting.
