THE ELECTION NIGHT THREAD!!!

[TravelingGal]

Well it''s nice that there seems to be a buzz and excitement in the year, vs 4 years ago when it just seemed like dread and desperation.

I''m going to go vote around 2 or 3 when the lunch crowds die down.

Um...any republicans on this thread yet? Do I need a bigger bat to fend all you dems off? Who''s gonna protect me when you all get drunk as skunks and stomp all over me with your partying ways?

tgal, i''ll be around too so you won''t be all alone

Cool MrsS. If they come after us, let''s hold up our kids. No sane person would lay a finger on such cuties (and hopefully the person holding them!)

I''ll check in too. I feel I know the outcome, but pray our country can pull together for the good of all.

Thanks for the thread, Irish!

Just finished my sociology exam and I''m in for the long haul! I''ll have the TV on the rest of the day, and I''ll check in on PS quite a bit!

Trying to stay positive, but the nerves of this election have made their way to my digestive system and I can''t eat. I can''t wait til the day is over!

Elle, I feel the same way. I''m SO NERVOUS!!! I can''t wait until all the results are in and we know for sure.

Hi, Coaties, my b-day twin! I hope you get a chance to pop in too!

 

[Italiahaircolor]

I probably wont get to vote by the time I get home tonight, which makes me sick. I thought leaving early for work would be my pitch hitter today...but it complicated things.

I am leaving here at 4pm no later tho ...what time do the polls close?

I''ll be here! I''ve been lurking on this board and dipping my toes in, but I''ll be up all night (or at least until they call CA and tell me about Prop and I''ll definitely be on this thread.


Is it weird that I''m nervous? My stomach has been flopping around or in knots all day.


Either way, there will be a few drinks involved.

I feel like I am going to throw up, honestly. I''ll be around here all night, stalking the various props around the country and waiting to hear [um, maybe tomorrow?

] who our new leader will be. Not all the news from tonight is going to be positive [talking mainly about the ballot initiatives here], so I am trying to keep my big-girl smile on.

I''m voting in an hour!!!!!

Per cnn.com, polls in Illinois close at 8 pm EST. Hopefully, you''ll be able to make it in time, and you won''t have to wait too long!

 

[snlee]

I''ll be around. I''ll be glued to the TV and internet. Election night is so exciting!

 

[Irishgrrrl]

Oh, Italia, I hope you can vote!!! Remember, if you''re in line by 8:00 p.m., they HAVE to let you vote!!! It doesn''t matter if you get in line at 7:59 and the line is several hours long . . . they CAN''T turn you away!!!

WishfulThinking, LovesVintage and Snlee, welcome!

Thanks,

DiaGem, I''m not sure exactly when the poll results will come out. I think it really depends on what time each state''s polls close. Here in PA, they close at 8:00 p.m., and I think that''s pretty standard for most of the other states too. And here''s a good website: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/

Mine is pizza and a dark chocolate-covered coconut bar. Both gluten-free. YUM, huh?
