Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Thanks.
A word of advice, though. Don't say "EST" as it was something obvious to someone who is not from US or Canada. We probably don't have any idea of what you are talking about. Use the more universal term, "GMT -5:00".

If you're seeing pre-recorded videos about how the election works you need to click on "Live: BBC US Election Night 2012"
FiveThirdyEight, Nate Silver's blog.
Politico live coverage
of the vote count.
I'll be plugging these about once every page or two until someone tells me not to.
Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur.There's also NY Times
(I think Five Thirty Eight links there) and Huffington Post
.

Politico.com showing a 10% lead for Obama in the first 3% of results in Florida. EDIT: That disappeared bloody fast.
