When the first polls close at 7 P.M. ET.
polls on the east coast close at 7pm- and then the rest of the country follows with whenever their 7pm is- usually takes an hour or so before some start coming in.
California and Alaska end at 1am EST.
Some polls in states are going to be open until 9 pm. Cnn.com has a map that shows closing eastern times.
Any good websites recommended for watching results? I won’t be anywhere near a TV. Heck, I’ll be running sound for a show… maybe I shouldn’t be trying to watch results.
right now it says Obama has 3 electoral votes & McCain has 8…..
They’re coming in right now in Phoenix of FOX news that I’m watching. 81 electoral votes for Obama and 39 for McCain right now.
As of 9:00 EST, Obama has 102 electoral votes, and McCain has 54. Seeing as how Obama is nearly doubling him in electoral votes, I feel very confident. However, the mid-west has yet to come into play.
174/49 favoring Obama, and Udall (D) just won. :)
BBC shows 207/138 now. It’s 3:30am here.
