"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.
