So I voted mid day and heard one of the poll workers say that they had been busy all day so that's encouraging for my area. Another neighbor said they went after watching the eclipse this morning and that there was a line too. I've been trying to keep my expectations low so that I might be pleasantly surprised vs sadness of expectations. We'll see how that works out.
For those watching/following returns, where are you watching/following? I was thinking about Crooked Media group thread but I don't know if I am up for reading along. I wish they did a live show like they did a few years ago (2018 maybe?)

I had to pause to remember what it was you said you were going to watch. I'm not at all surprised. (The twist, not which movie you chose.) I thought it'd be ridiculous but like fun ridiculous. It is...not. This is a bummer. I will prob still watch tho.

I forgot that one of my favorite Election Day activities is learning all the different random counties in each state. Thanks Steve K!

Voted at 5:30pm in my very blue collar suburb and it was empty. They said it had been steady all day but I’m nervous. H is away for work so I’m not diving to the bottom of a wine bottle the way I normally would tonight. I suppose that’s for the best.

The first thing I thought when I read the top tweet was "here come the conspiracy theories" and then I got to the part where the guy's name is Bill Gates and...oh boy. Apparently AZ GOP are suing to keep polls open later bc of this. Can you IMAGINE if a state Dem party tried to keep polls open?!

Someone come take my remote away. I know it's far too early but I can't help but watch kornacki's khakis and it's going to give me an ulcer.

I appreciate Joy Reid saying Florida is a red state, which is true. It being claimed as a toss-up always takes the gas out of everyone because it's the first one called.

If I at least wait until our polls close we'll have better answers for your side of the country but I can't help myself.
