, which covers the four weeks after the election, than in October shows heightened concern about how long it might take after the election before the results are known.
"If it drags on for several weeks, if it ends up being a relatively close election, that could cause a lot of havoc in the markets," Frederick said.

spoiler alert: Joe Biden/Kamala Harris will win.
The markets aren't the economy and they aren't our republic. The markets fared fine when it took longer to know in years past. And the markets should be aware the election isn't over until all states certify their votes. The markets are disconnected from reality as is.

Oh no, not the markets.
Our democracy is more important than the stock market.
