So I’m seeing in several places that Maryland has already been called for Harris, FOUR hours before polls close there?!
Is that true?!?!

I haven’t seen that. But Maryland is solidly Democrat. It’s Washington DC suburb.

Forgot about the time zone—we have relatives in KY and it can get really confusing for towns near the time zone divide.

Indiana
Kentucky

There are some places in Indiana and Kentucky that close at 6pm ET. Always thought that was really early. It would be difficult to vote after work if you work traditional hours.

You could have called Maryland 4 years ago.

BAD INFORMATION!

I’m gonna guess your purpose is to tell us when we’ll start getting results, but much of Kentucky and Indiana stop voting at 6PM ET. Please don’t let them think that they have an hour more than they have! NOt sure if those are the only states, either!

Polls close in most of Florida 7:00 pm EST. Panhandle 8:00 EST. But, the Panhandle is in the Central time zone.

My experience voting in Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
No waiting to vote. We were told by the media that the voting machines were not working at our voting location. So we went and voted anyway and were told our vote along with others would be tabulated later. Sounds OK but . . .
1. The machines were tested yesterday and they worked OK . . . but not today? Apparently the paper being used today doesn’t work with the machine?
2. Apparently voting has been extended to 10:00 tonight but nobody at the voting location has been officially informed of this. They said numerous calls to the county’s court house have asked about this . . . but no verification . . . so what happens? Will they stay open to 10:00?
3. Apparently the judge who created these voting procedures will be going to each location later to pick up the votes to be counted . . . We the people have lost total control . . .
4. There are no official procedures how things are being done . . . so I guess the lawyers will be deciding . . .
5. I recommended that voting go back to the way it worked. If it is not broke . . . don’t fix it. I trust

We voted about 1:00pm today. Waited in line about 30 minutes. As we got to the door. There was a sign on the door stating “Vote Here”. Then under that it said, “we will be open until 2pm”. My curiosity was triggered. When I got to the head of the line, I asked them if they closed at 2pm today. She said no, why do you ask? I said the sigh on the door says you are open 10-2 today. She said no it doesn’t. I said, yes. So one of them got up to check and came back with the in error signage. The person who hung the sign said she never looked at the front of the sign, she just stuck it up there. It was the sign they used on Saturday for early voting and their hours were 10-2.

Amazingly, they had been open since 6 o’clock and not one voter brought the sign to the attention of the poll workers.
