Where will you spend Election Night?

[hookaleft]

I am going to be right here.

[Glorfindel]

1. Right here.

Where else?

[SheilaAnn]

2. On my couch with goodies set out, jammies and expecting a rather short night of it before it's called for , La. n/t

[durablend]

3. Away from any news

I'll see what happens on Wednesday morning. Whether I should have cake or down a bottle of pills.

[debm55]

4. On DU

[wnylib]

5. Same as 2020, here on DU, with occasional visits

to other sites to see if they have updates not yet reported here.

[displacedvermoter]

6. Working

Finishing up monthly fire extinguisher inspections. I work with a Trumpist retired cop. So I will keep things on the low down.

[Fiendish Thingy]

7. Kornacki and DU! Nt

[QED]

8. Hiding...afraid to look. Telling myself I won't look. But peeking every now and then.

[msfiddlestix]

9. same here I'lll be getting all my election updates right here on DU , I refuse to watch it live on TV.

I'll probably be watching something on Netflix, like The Diplomat which just released it's second season. I've already watched both seasons but I'll watch it again with my laptop tuned into DU.
unless the reports are so bad that I'll have to turn it all off, get out the brandy and fat rolled one for panic attack prevention.
Or if the reports are what I anticipate as a landslide I'll do the above in celebration!

[Sympthsical]

10. Hopefully asleep, but Discord with friends if not

My days start at 4am. Tuesdays are raid night (gaming with friends thing). Once that winds down, it's 8pm and I'm beat. So faceplanting into a pillow by 9p is my usual mode.

But if it appears that we may get a definitive call, I'll try to stretch things a bit. No later than 11, though. I do not need the next day to be exhausting. Things to do, things to do.

[Aristus]

11. At home with Mrs. Aristus.

Jams, bathrobes, and seated on the couch, ready to celebrate or console.

[johnp3907]

12. At work.

[milestogo]

13. In a hot tub.

[Disaffected]

14. Under the bed.

[EarnestPutz]

29. That was going to be my line. Eyes closed and trying to keep hope alive.

[susanr516]

37. Me too,

But I'm taking a bottle of Pino Grigio with me.

[FloridaBlues]

15. Watch party with local dems for few hours probably some cocktails at hand.

Than home because it’s probably going to be a long night

[Nittersing]

16. Watching TCM or Hallmark

I'm usually asleep by 8pm.

I may or may not peek into "results TV"

[NewHendoLib]

17. Home - here

[Ms. Toad]

18. In the boiler room, supporting about 20% of Ohio's poll observers.

I'll check in here when I can. But I don't get to go home until after the last polling location has sent its ballots and other election material back to the BOE in a vehicle with both a Democratic and Republican courier. That will probably be between 9 and 10 PM. (I'll be on the "job" at 5:30 AM.)

[DFW]

19. Not where I thought I was going to be a week ago!

A week ago, I was planning to be right here in Düsseldorf, trying to stay awake.

Now, unexptectedly, I was called back to Dallas for 3 days, and I am flying over there on Tuesday, so, I will be spending Election Night back in the good old USA, in Dallas, Texas.

I will be jet-lagged and totally out of it at about 7PM Central Time. Is the USA still on daylight saving time? We just went off it last weekend. So, 10:00 PM in Dallas will be either 4 AM or 5 AM for my body clock, I'll be shutting down whether or not I want to.

Most of my European friends (remember--Europeans have a pessimism gene that we don't have) are warning me that Trump will win, and the world is in for some misery the likes of which we haven't seen since 1942. I tell them to remember my updated version of Casey At The Bat from January, 2021:

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

35. Daylight savings time ends tomorrow at 2am nt

[DFW]

38. Ah, OK, so we're back to 7 hours difference with Dallas

Thanks for the update!

[onetexan]

20. i will be strung out on coffee and nervous as heck from monday night until it's called. In 2020 i was sleep deprived

and stressed as heck.

[debm55]

21. at home.in front of DU

[Tribetime]

22. D. U. MSNBC and Predictit

Predictit was very comforting in 2020 usually had promising percentages when vote totals didn't look so good.

[Talitha]

23. One eye on TV, one eye on DU, and both hands on a big bottle of wine.

[irisblue]

24. Here.

[GenThePerservering]

25. We'll be 8 hours ahead

so will be getting ready to go hiking in the English countryside - no media.

Our ballots are already dropped off at city hall. We voted ASAP. If people over there ask me about the election, I will say "I'm Canadian" and change the subject.

[SheltieLover]

26. Home on DU.

[Auggie]

27. Watching MSNBC

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

28. Glued to the TV and here!

[LAS14]

30. In my living room. Switching between PBS and MSNBC. Maybe some Fox for fun. nt

[dweller]

31. I was considering communing with dust bunnies

Under the bed , but I know me well enough
I will be here , wine in hand
Split of bubbly in case of early call for Harris/Walz


✌🏻

[Island Blue]

32. At home with my cat and everyone on DU.

[Coexist]

?c=1

[beveeheart]

34. Here after finishing Election Judge duties

and all the ballots are scanned. Hopefully by 9 o'clock!

[WarGamer]

36. in my office with multiple monitors and a TV on the wall.

I'll order out for food... probably a chicken kabob plate... local place has the best hummus.

Might munch on nachos as the night rolls on...

And a nice bottle of Cali red wine... Justin Platinum Reserve Cab...

And I'll have a bottle of La Grande Dame in the frig if the vote goes the right way

[Marigold]

39. In Canada

My husband and I are voting as early as possible on Tuesday, then getting in the car and driving to Canada. I need a mental break. I am even going to try not to look at the news until late that night or Wednesday morning. I know a lot of people love him, but Steve Kornacki gives me anxiety.

[biophile]

40. I'm a poll observer

I’ll be inside a polling place in Reading, PA. We stay until the votes are tallied and verified and machines are broken down. Last time, it was 10:00 pm before I left- polls close at 8. This time I’ll need to be very observant. I don’t trust the MAGAnuts around here - I’m believe they want trouble.

[woodsprite]

41. Here on DU, and watching the MSNBC crew

When I’m not at chorale rehearsal. (Well, ok. I’ll still be on DU during rehearsal breaks 😁

[DEM1955]

42. Right here on DU

Watching Kamala Harris win state after state after state. It will be so glorious! No more trump, lock him up!

[mitch96]

43. NOT watching MSM...It's like the past few weeks has all been foreplay for the vote-gasm on Nov 5

It will be all over the news/radio/social media on Nov 6... so you won't miss a thing...
Harris/Walz 2024!!! VOTE!!
m

[2 Meow Momma]

44. At home with my bestie 🐈‍⬛ and on DU possibly watching MSNBC or CNN.

Either way, I’ll be ugly crying when the call is made. Probably won’t be for a day or two.

[redstatebluegirl]

45. Right here with my friends!

[crosinski]

46. My husband and I will be here at DU!

[Elessar Zappa]

47. Probably on the road until at least 9 pm.

I have a doctors appointment five hours away from where I live. I reckon by the time it’s done, I’ll get home just as the returns really get going.

[Xavier Breath]

48. Same.

Me and my cat on the couch, watching it all unfold.

[ForgedCrank]

49. I'll be

completely ignoring it and watching a movie or something, same as I always do.
No point getting all worked up about it. There's a good chance we won't even know for a while.
