First Election Thread
Well from here on out it's just rumors, exit polls, spin, and watching to see who looks sad and who looks happy as they talk about those things.
A few sources that will update as numbers come in:
The New York Times map of poll closings.
Very soon (7pm EST) is a very big one. Most of Florida (but not the Panhandle -- but that hasn't stopped networks from calling it early before!), Georgia, New Hampshire, Virginia. (Among other states whose outcome is less in doubt.)
At 7:30 comes Ohio, North Carolina, and West Virginia.
At 8:00 comes Maine, the rest of Florida (so a result might come in), and most east-of-the-Mississippi states except for important ones (WI, MI) in the upper Midwest.
The WSJ will be updating as the night progresses. It should be noted that so far exit polls look bad for Trump -- better hope for that Shy Trump Voter effect.
