The presidential election is right around the corner. This event has not put the nation in a very good mood.

"Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5 -- but that doesn't mean we'll know who won the election on that date. With each passing election, more and more Americans are casting mail-in ballots, which take longer to count than in-person votes because they need to be opened and verified. That means that finding out the winner on election night may be a thing of the past," advises ABC News in a brief analysis.

"Deep inside, all candidates think about winning and losing -- but the latter is suppressed. This unleashes a lot of energy. It's also the time where candidates stop sleeping and campaign day and night. It's another way of dealing with the fear of losing that you don't want to leave any stone unturned," campaign consultant Louis Perron said in a written statement shared with Inside the Beltway.
