[msongs]

1. east coast polls close 2 pm hawaii time, will be over way before our sunset nt

[Demovictory9]

9. presidential race maybe, but not race for senate

[Poiuyt]

2. I'll be watching late into the night with a bag of potato chips and a big bowl of chip dip

Unless it looks like trump will win. Then I'll come onto DU and commiserate with everyone here.

[elleng]

5. Thanks for prodding me;

may pick up queso, @ Salsa, nearby Mexican cafe. Will stay awake through the night.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

3. I'll try to nap right after dinner and get up around 1 am.

I live in England, 5 hours ahead. I’ll watch throughout the night.

[Laffy Kat]

4. I've taken most of that week off.

I'm not sure what condition I'll be in because I may be on mood-altering substances.

[Demovictory9]

8. I hear ya. Today Anderson Cooper said "and if Trump wins..." and just looked into the camera

omg. please no. but anything is possible.

[GoneOffShore]

6. Six hour time difference, so 18:00 EST is 24:00 here. Probably check my phone early

Or if it's the result that we're all hoping, praying, and working for, there will be phone calls from friends in the US.

And the bottle of Ayala Champagne gets opened for breakfast.

[Demovictory9]

10. booze for breakfast ok considering the situation

[GoneOffShore]

14. Too right.

[Hekate]

7. Already voted. Will avoid TV. Will hang out here.

[Dem2theMax]

11. I'm going to be a nervous wreck.

[DFW]

12. East Coast polls close at midnight, West Coast at 3 AM for me

So I’ll probably run down to either Paris or Geneva for the day and be back home well before the news starts coming in.

[Totally Tunsie]

13. I'll be GLUED to the TV all night and well into Wednesday for

follow up.

My only question (and it was raised by another DU poster a few days ago) is what to have on hand for snacking, chewing (other than my nails), and celebrating. It needs to be something to last for the duration yet not break the calorie bank, and easy to handle with eyes on the TV. I'm talkin' like Superbowl food!

[Freddie]

15. And DU CANNOT GET HACKED!

That was the 2nd most awful thing about 2016, not having this place to vent and commiserate.

[Cousin Dupree]

16. Going to have a small watch party at our Dem. county HQ with other volunteers. We've worked

so hard and need to be together at least part of the night.

[handmade34]

17. still have PTSD from

Nov.3 2016... won't watch until a loved one confirms Biden's win

[lkinwi]

18. I'll do my usual and tell myself I'm not going to watch.

Then I’ll sit in front of the tv, constantly scan Twitter and DU, and text with like-minded friends all night.

[Demovictory9]

24. same here, unless the trend sudden heads in the wrong direction,.... then I will turn it off

too painful

[lkinwi]

29. If it heads in the wrong direction, I'll have a couple martinis and pass out in bed.

Hopefully the returns keep me sober.

[marlakay]

27. Ha ha that is what I keep saying

To myself not going to pay attention, then I do...😳😜

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

19. Multitasking

Going back and forth between working and helping my 6th grader son with school from home like every Tuesday (also Mondays and Wednesdays). I will not be staying up to watch the results because I expect it take a while to figure it all out, surely longer than one night. I will just check the news sites the next day.

[solara]

20. I'll be working for the Bureau of Elections

counting absentee ballots. Hopefully with an enormous, joyous smile on my face, even though it will be a 12 hour work day.. at least.

[Klaralven]

21. There is no point in tuning in until about 9 pm ET

By then there should be the first returns coming in from FL, NC, OH, PA and a number of other important states. States with 270 electoral votes close by 8 pm ET unless held open by the courts for some reason. Another 162 close by 9 pm ET. There are no toss-up states that close after 9 pm ET.

[Polybius]

25. It's fun to hear the pundits talk on CNN and MSNBC

I start at 4:00.

[Buckeyeblue]

22. I'll vote that morning. And will watch the returns in the evening.

At some point between now and election day, I have to watch The War Room. The 1992 election is a special memory for me. I saw Bill and Al several times. I volunteered for them. The night he won, felt like the country would finally get passed Reagan.

[NurseJackie]

23. Early to bed. Early to rise.

I can't stay up all night any more... not like I used to. I need my sleep.

[0rganism]

26. work all day, resisting panic attacks. check results online from time to time.

until the internet goes down Tuesday evening, then i'll probably get drunk and pass out in my back yard

[IrishEyes]

28. I will get to work at 5:00am and leave at 10:00pm on Election Day.

I'm a poll worker so I will be working all day. I get two meal breaks of an hour each. I won't get home until around 10:30pm. I'm kind of happy to have a distraction. If I wasn't working, I would be home glued to my computer all day anxiously watching every race. I will probably stay up to watch the results when I get home. Fortunately, I don't have to get up early the next day. There are a lot of senate and house races that I'm watching as well as the presidential race.

Hopefully, my November 4th will be awesome. I hope that we are all celebrating.

[jpljr77]

30. I'm working the polls and was told to expect to be working until 11 p.m. ET, which is actually nice

as I hope to come home to some good news.

[whistler162]

31. Go to bed at 8pm

wake up another year older and go to work.

[David__77]

32. I just realized that I planned to take the day off, as well as the following day.

In actuality, I may work on election day. It might be better to be distracted.

[GulfCoast66]

33. We voted yesterday. Are spending election week in a rental on the gulf.

Will watch the sun come over coffee then hit the bay for a days fishing.

Probably head in around 5:00pm clean the fish and boat. Cook supper.

Turn on the TV around 8:00 with a bourbon and cigar.

No need fretting over it as I can’t change anything.
