Update 10:20pm
McCain’s concession speech is on now, and he’s being quite gracious — this is the McCain I remember from 2000 and haven’t seen since.
Update 8:23pm
MSNBC has just called Ohio for Obama. Wow. That’s pretty much game over, barring any kind of west coast shock.
Nice. Now it’s all about the House and Senate races. More later…
Update 8:15pm:
Wisconsin got called amazingly fast, faster than it’s been called in the last two cycles. I take that as a good sign… Basically, all Obama has to do to win at this point is …

A bit late in the game for me to be posting this, I realize, but if you see any voting irregularities (basically, anything that smells faintly of a disenfrachisement attempt), call 1-866-OUR-VOTE.

Today’s the day.  I’m getting ready to go to my first canvas shift.  I didn’t get home from Obama’s last rally until 2am.  Traffic was horrible because there were an estimated 90,000-100,000 people there.  This election has brought about a kind of excitement I’ve never seen, and shame on everyone who says that finally having an inspiring politician is a bad thing.  This is it, y’all.  We’re getting ready to go back to a Democratic president.  And we’re all getting to live through history.  I can’t wait to tell my …

Here, dear reader(s), is a handy-dandy quick reference list of which states close their polls at which hour. I’ve also included some annotations on what to expect at various points of the evening, but take those with a grain of salt.
(You could, of course, also download the delightfully festive color-coded map from Swing State Project.)
All times are Eastern Standard Time (EST). Note that in some states polls close at different hours; the times given are generally the times of the last poll closings in that state (but in some cases …

Democrat Obama defeated Republican John McCain by a count of 15 to 6 in Dixville Notch, where a loud whoop accompanied the announcement in Tuesday’s first minutes. The town of Hart’s Location reported 17 votes for Obama, 10 for McCain and two for write-in Ron Paul.
…and poor old Ralph Nader got shut out.
So is this a key indicator, a good omen, a portent of things to come today? Naah, just some late-night election …
