Election Day!

[tanaqui]

This post is for talking about anything and everything to do with election day and the results.

Tell us about your voting experience if you're voting today,

Tell us if you're doing something today to get out the vote or safeguard voting rights, if you're working for a campaign, or if you're making sure the elections run smoothly. (A big thank you to all of you who are poll workers.)

Tell us about how you're hunkering down in front of five different screens of election coverage or how you're going to bed early and ignoring it all!

Tell us about the downballot races you're excited about and share any local results as they come in.

If it proves necessary, tell us about any urgent actions we need to take (or make a brand new post about them!)

And let's keep each other company while we bite our nails and wait for the results….

I'm really excited we have ranked choice voting on the ballot in MA this election!

I plan to make a final donation to Pizza to the Polls today and otherwise try very hard to avoid all election news until tomorrow aside from what ProPublica has been putting out (focus on voting experience, problems preventing eligible voters from voting, etc.).

I have no interest and no patience for media outlets trying to project 'winners' ahead of all votes being counted this year in particular.

You have ranked choice? That's fabulous. I would love to see that nationwide.

I'll be in a chat room with select friends watching results. I'll probably have the live feed from the Associated Press since I don't subscribe to a TV package.

We have a ballot question on ranked choice.

As gingicat kindly clarified, in MA we're voting on whether to implement ranked choice voting going forward (may it be so!).

This evening, I must admit the only numbers I'm interested in checking are the ones at https://polls.pizza/ re: how many pizzas they've delivered and where they have active deliveries currently. You really get a sense of how big the USA is when there are so many East coast pizza deliveries to polling places right now (early dinner!) vs. ones on the West coast (late lunch!) with very few in between. When I checked a few hours ago, there was one in Houston - pizza at the polls for breakfast?
