What to Expect TomorrowToday (BUMPED) [someone]

(Posted and bumped with Ewok dispensation. Looks like the Dem fraud prediction is dead on. I'm heading out, so I'll probably miss the early exit poll frenzies. Get out the vote, and bag some trolls if you're here. And if you start to panic, read this.)

(All times Eastern)

1am: Overnight (11pm local time) McCain rally in Prescott, AZ.

6am: Polls begin opening for Election Day proper. Check your local jurisdiction for times.

~9am: Evidence of Election Day voter fraud by Dems (rigged machines, slashed tires, etc. etc.) starts trickling in. Media ignores it.

~Noon-2pm: First leaked exit polls purporting to show Obama up by 99 points in every state east of the Mississippi. Ace freaks out again. Axelturfers flood in.

1:45pm: Election Day morning (11:45am local time) McCain rally in Grand Junction, CO.

~3-5pm: Various and probably conflicting reports on turnout appear on teh internets. Ace has enough chemical assistance to calm down a bit.

~5-7pm: More baloney rumors of polls, exit polls, and projections. (Remember Zogby's 5pm call of a 311EV Kerry win?)

6pm: Polls begin to close in IN and KY (not completely, however).
7pm: Polls close completely in IN, KY, VA, SC, and GA. Media, based on horribly inaccurate exit polling and total bias, immediately calls Virginia for Obama.
(Note: If they immediately call Virginia for McCain, in all likelihood the race is over and we've won. Check the anchors' complexions... And if they start talking about how we're all racist.)

~7-9pm: Stories of long lines, disorder, and other excuses to keep polls open way late in urban areas of MO, OH, and other states appear. Media ignores cover for obvious fraud.

7:30pm: Repeat of 7pm with OH, WV, and NC. Again, in the unlikely event the nets are forced to call Ohio for McCain this early, it's over.

8pm: Repeat of 7pm with a whole bunch of states including PA, FL, and MO.

~9-10:30pm: Actual numbers (counted, not polled) start coming in for these early states. We begin to learn what's actually going on.

9:30pm: Obama's Grant Park riotrally officially opens its doors. Hundreds of thousands of shambling Obots rendezvous outside for worship, rage, and braaaaaaaaaaaaaains.

11pm: Last polling places in contiguous 48 states close. I'm already either really drunk (happily or miserably) or out of nails to chew off or both.

Bottom line: Don't forget that a shitstorm of bad data is going to be flung out by the media, Axelturfers, and Eeyores tomorrow. Don't trust anything you hear, good or bad, until real counts start to appear. Drive McCain supporters to the polls, and do any other GOTV that your local office has planned.

I Will Try Not to Freak Out [ace]: Should be easier to avoid freaking out, as I'm kind of prepared for all the crap they're going to throw at us, and I'm also prepared for the worst.

I don't have any alcohol in the house, though. I should get some.

BTW, I don't agree that I "freaked out" all that much last time. I remember putting up the Kerry sneak exit polls showing him ahead, but quickly, and through the rest of the day, put up all the stuff debunking those exits.

Basically the site mentioned those exits for a half hour before denigrating them for the rest of the day.
