Five Thirty-Eight has an invaluable guide to poll closing times, and what to watch for in terms of patterns and results. The earliest polls close in parts of Indiana and Kentucky by 6 p.m. Eastern. In that hour, watch for Dem Amy McGrath's contest in Kentucky against Rethug incumbent Andy Barr to see if a blue wave is building. Polls close at 7 p.m. in most of Florida (Eastern time) and Georgia, which promises to come down to the wire for Andrew Gillum and Stacy Abrams. At 8 p.m., polls close in 21 states, giving us a good idea about the control of the Senate (Tennessee and Missouri are key). They're saying that by 9 p.m. Eastern, we should know if the Dems have flipped the House, whether Dem Krysten Sinema's Senate run in Arizona is successful, and whether Tony Evers is able to defeat corporate slug Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin. So much more at the link, check it out.

Get the popcorn ready? More like Pepto Bismol!
I am nervous but excited. We'll see what our country is made of with these midterms, but no matter what happens or why, we've left it all on the table. No regrets, no second-guessing. And if we don't make the gains we're hoping for, we will get back up and start from where we left off. We have to stay the course and keep our focus on the future. Win or not, we can't get discouraged.
That being said, I have hope that we come out ahead today. I hope that people were not scared by the Right wing hatemongers or the threats fro Republican leaders.
Fingers crossed!
donnah -- That's the key: keep fighting and don't lose focus on the future. You have to believe that history's on our side, because it is.
My mom just texted that she voted today. She's an active 83 year old and I'm super proud of her. I admit, I nagged her lately and even reminded her this morning that it was not a vote to skip. Every vote counts!
