Every other year they've announced each state as it closed (or even part of the state closed like Florida in 2000).

[Gaffer]

They’ll start with their fake exit interview polls and lie from there.

Maryland polls close at 8 pm. When you see Trump carrying Maryland, you know he has a 38 or 40 state win... enough for 300 electoral votes. Also check out NY or NJ or Mass... if he turns one of those, it is a Trumpalanche.

Polls close at 7:30 in NC. If you’re in line by then you can vote.

[Da Bilge Troll]

If Trump is going to win it will be clear by 9:00pm EST.

The Results are already in, the Networks are just waiting for the actual election to take place before they tell us who won.

[Cboldt]

The networks post what they want, when they want. They usually work from "official returns" which come in precinct by precinct after the polls close in those precincts. Closing time varies by state, and if turnout is strong, will be delayed to accomodate at least people in line, and more than that with a court order.

At any rate, results are posted and states are called before the polls close in Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones.

I’m not on the East Coast but polls in Indiana close at 6 pm Eastern time.

[Paladin2]

If NH goes Trump it’ll be a good night.

[umgud]

The MSM has already called the race, no sense even voting now, unless you’re a dim.

[tennmountainman]

Poll closing times and vote reporting times are two different things.

How many times have we seen big democrat counties delaying
reporting their vote totals?

Many of us believe that those counties are drumming up additional votes
they think they might need before reporting.

[GGpaX4DumpedTea]

Polls close at 7:30 pm in Ohio.

[rktman]

More important than that is that someone makes sure that they all understand they need to go vote on Nov. 10. Nov. 8 is only for republicans and that two extra days lets the dems know how many votes they will need to win. ‘-) No, really.

[Pollster1]

The 7:00 to 8:00 pm numbers in Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Virginia will tell us everything we need to know. If Hillary sweeps those states, it's over for freedom. If Trump sweeps, it's morning in America. If Trump takes just Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina, or the rest of those states are "too close to call" for real and not just because the media are playing games, it's going to be a long night.

[MNJohnnie]

On Fox then said 7pm. However, I expect them to play every game they played in 2000. They will hold the Trump states as long as possible, hype the fraudulent Pro Clinton exit polls call the Clinton states as soon as possible and, possibly, “mistakenly” call FLA for Clinton early to depress GOP turn out in the FL pan handle, the Midwest and the West.

[MNJohnnie]

Maine 1 and New Hampshire are early indicators. If Clinton loses those, she is in trouble.

[MNJohnnie]

Also watch VA and PA. If Clinton loses either, she is DEEPLY in trouble.

[Vermont Lt]

Every election back to 1964, (those I can remember) they start reporting as soon as th4 state closes.

If you are good at reading people you can get a sense of what the exit polls are saying by the news people’s tone.

[Redleg Duke]

It depends on the results. Blue states going for Trump...”To close to call!”, delaying to avoid all RAT vote discouragement.

Any Witch victories trumpeted loudly and quickly.

[lowtaxsmallgov]

Virginia closes at 7.

Jailary ought to win VA by at least 5% minimum, anything less could point to President-elect Donald Trump.

Keep a close eye on Virginia but don’t get too excited if we are leading early - there could be a Dem surge in the final 10% of precincts reporting, like what happened to Cuccinelli 3 years ago.

If there isn’t a late Jaillary surge, that probably means that the urban black vote did not materialize - and perhaps might not nationally - and could be foreshadowing a truly great night for us!
