Happy Election Day everyone! I figured I'd go ahead and get the election day thread started. Polls open on the east coast in a little less than an hour.

Please be sure to post observations of interest if you went to the polls today.

Just voted at our local grade school. The polling ladies all very nice, checked our IDs, and gave us a long paper ballot, fill out both sides. We have the old pencil in the oval next to your guy/gal system and drop it in the blue box. Very old school. Feels like we voted.

[Norm Lenhart]

That was awesome.

I’m not watching TV, nothing on CNN’s website about GA yet ...?

ABC’s GARY LANGER: According to the preliminary exit poll data, here are three facts about voters in Arkansas, where Democratic incumbent Mark Pryor is fighting 5to keep his seat from Republican Tom Cotton.

• Discontent among Arkansas voters is among the highest in the country; 72 percent think the country is headed seriously off on the wrong track and two-thirds disapprove of Obama’s job performance.

• A majority, 54 percent, think the healthcare law went too far.

• Turnout among Democrats is at a low, 29 percent, in Senate exit poll data since 1992.

I cant get the sbe website to load. Could you tell me whats happening in....Chesapeake city, Patrick County, and...Manassas county look like?

With no runoff!!! Great. We won’t have to wait until Jan. to know the results.

It is too soon to say, but a wave may be building

Definitely something going on. Here in Central Illinois (much redder that the north end of the state), our sleepy little hamlet delivered over twice the usual number of voters. I was there at about 6:30, and the poll workers were rejoicing that the polls were closing soon, because they'd been working so hard all day to keep up. Paper ballots, BTW.

Hahahahhaah

BUH BYE PRYOR!

[rodguy911]

Some talk about Kasich as potus material.....

[digger48]

Why isn’t this thread in Breaking News so we can find it?
Had to hunt around comments

Crist has filed a motion with the Circuit Court for the 17th Judicial Circuit asking for extended voting hours in Broward County

A clear sign the Crist's Depends are bunching up.

Not getting my hopes up. What usually happens in VA statewide races is the rural districts report first, the GOP candidate pulls out front by a mile, then the urban areas get counted and the lead vanishes and turns into a loss...we’ll see...

NY Times: “Shaping up to be a good night for Republicans. Early returns drop Democrats’ chances to keep Senate to 15%.”

Next stop - get Manchin to leave the dark side.

[LostInBayport]

Omg .. I’m overwhelmed I don’t know which way to look!

You and me both! I'm scanning two FR threads, FOX's election page and my home states sites while listening to the radio!

I haven't eaten supper yet!

[rainee]

GA 50% runoff?

[Viennacon]

Fox knows that, and is calling it too close to call simply on how much Gillespie is outperforming expectations. They know the northern counties go dem, and have factored it in.

I like Megan. As far as her giggling and giddiness I can relate. I have felt that way over the past few months watching the dimocrats running away from BO like a pack of scalded dogs. Tonight it’s like watching the climax of something like ‘house of cards’ in real time.
