Former President Barack Obama advises Americans to be patient, as the process of counting votes is underway in some states, while in others the electoral process continues.

The former US president urges the American people to respect the process and avoid spreading fake news by checking its facts and sources.

In a post on X, Obama wrote: “It took several days to count all the ballots in 2020, and it’s very likely we won’t know the result tonight. So keep in mind that:

– Thousands of election workers are hard at work across the country today. Respect them. Thank them.

– Do not share information before checking your sources.

– Let the process take its course. It takes time to count each ballot.”
