AP news-agency sets up its biggest-ever operation to track next weeks presidential election. Over 1000 vote-counters will explain step-by-step how winners are picked in each state

AP news-agency prepares for its most open election count since it started tracking results back in 1848 (which makes it almost two centuries of vote-counting experience)

The organization puts together a huge team to handle next weeks presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump – their staff will track count and report results from every state. AP workers dont just add up numbers; they make official calls about who wins where

A special writing team will explain each state-by-state decision in simple words: this extra step shows how AP wants to be more clear about its work. They already published many how-to guides that break down the whole process; these guides help everyone understand the way AP picks winners and losers

The news service has always been Americas main election-night source – but this time they focus extra hard on being open about their methods (which means showing exactly how they work through all the numbers)
