What is everyone going to do during the early part of Tuesday evening?

[Bleacher Creature]

It will be too late to do anything productive to help the Biden campaign, or any of the current candidates, but too early to know how things are shaping up.

My first instinct is to be here, but I'm guessing that there's going to be a ton of baseless rumors flying around Twitter that will send us all into an occasional panic, which won't be helped by television coverage that wants this to be as dramatic as possible.

This would have been the perfect time for a two hour popcorn flick at a movie theater with bad phone coverage.

1. Mass quantities of dangerous drugs.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Start drinking?

[Thekaspervote]

3. My main goal...Stay away from the news!!

[marybourg]

4. In the Mountain and Pacific time zones,

it’s not too bad.

[luvs2sing]

5. Socially-distanced driveway happy hour with friends.

The hosts are doctors, so we trust precautions will be followed to the letter. After a glass of wine..or two..I’ll come home and probably sleep through the whole thing.

[SharonClark]

6. Poll Watching until the polls close at 9:00 CST annd checking my cell phone!

[Ms. Toad]

18. Ditto, but SET. N/t

[brooklynite]

7. Prepare for my election night party...the balloon drop is always the hardest part

[Deuxcents]

8. Gonna take a nap

...if I can even sleep..then stay up and watch the Big Board. Four years ago, I fell asleep around 1-2:00 feeling good about the results. I woke up to a nightmare. I’m expecting different results this time. I’ll either get drunk or celebrate.

[Bleacher Creature]

13. That's EXACTLY what happened to me.

I fell asleep just as things were starting to turn towards Trump, but before it got really bad, and then woke up to an absolute nightmare. I'll never forget that moment.

[2naSalit]

20. Same here...

Don't think I'll be able to sleep until I literally pass out.

[jcgoldie]

9. DRINK

HEAVILY.

[Tom Rinaldo]

12. I would but at my age that would do me in early for the night

and I want to stay awake until at least 2:00AM (unless the news is unexpectedly dismal at which point my heavy drinking would commence.)

[DinahMoeHum]

10. BC, I'm working a poll that day, starting at 5 am to set up.

. . .polls in my state open at 6 am through 9 pm

I won't be finished with it until after 10 pm, when we close up, call in November 3 results to our Board of Elections, and lock up shop.

As soon as I'm done, I'm going home and going straight to bed. Will be too damn tired to watch TV or social media or get on the computer.

As such, I will be essentially incommunicado from DU from 9 pm Monday night to sometime Wednesday morning.

[2naSalit]

22. ...

[ARPad95]

24. Me, too! Best wishes for both of us to have a good (albeit long) day/night on Tuesday.

[MissB]

11. Well I have to work

Until 6:30 east coast time. So I’ll have time to prep dinner here on the west coast and pop it in the oven before I go watch the early returns with my bottle of Prosecco.

Dh gets to entertain the dog and bring me dinner.

I have the 4th off.

[SMC22307]

14. Walking the dog and chatting with any neighbors we run into, like usual.

Then parking my ass in a comfy chair with phone, laptop, and TV fired up and ready to go...

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Q: "What is everyone going to do...?"

A: Post on DU.

[samnsara]

16. bake some pot bownies as the day after the 2016 election I laid on the sofa and ate a whole plate...

... I had something mundane on tv.....and a blankie over my head. When I awoke I cancelled ALL my newspapers and i didnt watch another second of any news show until Flynn was charged.

Hopefully this time the brownies will go into the freezer and last the month or so they were meant to...

[Hoyt]

17. Take a nap until 7:00 PM or so. Then, settle in for a lot of political talk. Hope to heck

it's not like 2016 when Kentucky votes came in around 8:00 PM and it was obvious things weren't going well for Clinton. She wasn't expected to win Kentucky, but she was supposed to do better than the votes reflected. I was watching MSNBC and the pundits mood turned gloomy quickly.

I think we'll be good this time, but until the votes are counted we just won't know for sure.

[2naSalit]

23. That's my plan...

Though I do plan to spend my evening seriously enhanced with herbal substances so that I don't get too anxious.

[Hoyt]

26. Oh, I didn't mention that part. :)

[katmondoo]

19. I don't drink and gave up smoking a long time ago so I will chew my nails. I hope this end well.

[ARPad95]

21. Working at a polling site as an election inspector until the very last voter in line votes!

[2naSalit]

25. +++++++++++++++++++!

[Bleacher Creature]

27. That's actually what I'm doing as well, but done at 8pm.

I'm thinking that 8-11pm block is going to be terrifying.

[Talitha]

28. If it's a clear night and reasonably calm, I'll be outside with my telescope.

But if it's cloudy I plan to settle down with a book and sporadically check DU and the election results. Maybe a bit of wine.
