It's Election Watch Party time!

2 min read

Welcome one and all to the inaugural Uncharted Blue election watch. Polls closed at 6:00 ET in some parts Indiana and Kentucky, but will be open another hour in the larger parts of each state. Settle in for a long night (and possibly week) among friends.

We'll be here talk about the election from top to bottom—presidential, Senate, House, ballot initiatives. But first, a PSA about exit polls.

Don't look at early releases from exit polls, including most important issue questions. Exit polls are only useful after (a) voting is done, (b) they're finished collecting exit poll data, and (c) they have weighted the exit poll data to the results

Update: Iowa is just messing with us now.

And there are more (likely Russia-originated) bomb threats at heavily Black polling stations in Georgia, disrupting voting and delaying closings in some counties.

Update: Sure, dude.

Update: Vermont is in first for Harris.

Indiana called for Trump.

Update:

It's gonna be a battle for the 60% threshold in Florida: with roughly half of the vote counted already, the abortion rights measure is ahead 58% to 42%.

Also, polls are closing in North Carolina.

Update: AP has called West Virginia for Trump and GOP Jim Justice for the Senate seat being vacated by Joe Manchin. See ya, Joe. We won't miss you.

Update: Take a deep breath for the last wave of poll closings and calls from AP.

  • Harris: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island
  • Trump: Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee
