So what time do the polls close?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

If the previous post was correct, 7:30 local.

There was something you forgot: without a or [/sarcasm] or something similar, sarcasm doesn't transmit over the internet.

i imagined that the intentional misspelling of 'good' as 'gud' would make my sarcastic intentions clear

alas it seems, as it so often does, that i was mistaken

So what time do the polls close?

the last one (alaska) closes at 1am eastern

My Ballot said 8pm (California)

[Jervill]

Most states are 8pm local, however Kentucky and Indiana close at 6pm EST, so starting from there is when we'll start seeing results.

Got another one.

CNN will have its results here: Election Results.

The BBC has a pretty good online section here, with live text and video updates, analysis and nice and complex results tracker.

YMMV with getting on the site though from outside the UK, but at least it has none of that political bias you guys seem so hot on cramming into your media.

On the whole "Voting machine changes votes to the person I did not want to vote for" thing, I have heard it both ways, so I suspect there are just a few bad voting machines.  Personally, I think that voting should be done on a ballot and a machine should be allowed to do the counting, nothing more.  But then you get a Florida in 2000.

BUT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE UNITED KINGDOM IS A SOCIALIST HELLHOLE.

THE INSTITUTIONALIZED GRANNY KILLINGS MUYST STOP. BOMB BRITAIN!_{Cause that worked well for the Nazi's.}

Yeah, I'll see if I can get BBC around here. I'll ask my dad too. He's normally liberal biased on most issues, even though he watches Fox like a paranoid watches CCTV cameras in walmart.

Figures that I'd come  down with a hellacious chest cold on the Big Day. I at least did manage to crawl out the door and go vote. But I'm probably taking heap big medicine and conking out during the returns.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

All of NC has hellacious chest colds right now, apparently.

[FearfulJesuit]

The most important state in this cycle might be Florida, not Ohio.

This is a fun one, especially since it makes it clear just what the odds are at the eleventh hour. Thankfully, Romney doesn't have much of a shot, but he could if he's lucky enough.

In a worst-case most plausible scenario, Romney takes NC, plus the two closest swing states (Colorado and Florida). Here, actually, he has an advantage in number of possible paths. If in addition he has Virginia, he will probably have it in the bag; he would have to win in addition only Ohio, or Wisconsin+[Iowa/NH/Nevada]; or, he takes all three of Iowa, Nevada and New Hampshire while losing Ohio. But I find that unlikely. Wisconsin is probably a safe Obama bet by now, and Nevada certainly is. Pretending that Mittens has North Carolina while Obama has Nevada and Wisconsin in the bag, Romney will have to win both Ohio and Florida to pull off a win; then he has to either win Virginia and something else or everything that isn't.

It will be interesting, but my money's on Obama.
