Forgive my ignorance- vote Talley, election results

Trump was the phenomenon that turned my attention towards politics in 2016. So I don't have much recollection of election nights and how everything unfolded in elections say between mid 80s and 2016. Has anything even similar to what we saw in 2020 happened in a presidential election in modern history? Have there ever been states that didn't know the results of their elections until the next day? Has there ever been an election where we didn't have a clear president winner the night of?

It took over a month in the 2000 election due to the Florida recount. That would be the only election, at least in my lifetime, that was even remotely comparable.

Outside of 2000, no. The trend of taking weeks to tally ballots started with Covid. Now, for some reason, counting ballots weeks after the election is expected behavior. It's a feature, not a bug.

I had never heard of pausing the vote count in some states. When they stated that late into the evening, I knew the steal was on.

Why did we move to electronic voting machines if it wasn't going to make it easier?
