MODERATORS
The first polls on the East Coast close at 2000, which will be 0100 Wednesday morning in the UK, 0200 CET.
It will take a while to count up all the votes, though, particularly in states where they don't start counting the mail-in vote until the election closes. I bet when you wake up on Wednesday we still won't really know.
Well, they'll know how a lot of places will go, but this one will be probably close enough that I doubt that we'll be able to make a solid call on the election as a whole very early.
And always possible that there could be a Florida "hanging chads"-style challenge and effort to trigger recounts in any place that winds up extremely close in results, so that might extend it.
