24 hours from now, I hope we know who our new President will be. 24 hours from now, it will be about 1:30 a.m. EST. Let's keep our fingers crossed! If it is not close, hopefully we will know!

I agree. The country can't go through another election with days of not knowing the result.

Ah, MzMia, the polls don't close in Hawaii for another 6 hours after they close in states in the EST zone, LOL. Can't we wait till later in the day, at least? Winks candystripper [sm=pole.gif]

Winks candystripper [sm=pole.gif] Maybe so, BUT if the lead is great enough, Hawaii won't matter!!!!!!!! [:D] Also, Hawaii is a solid blue state "winks"

LOL at 'Hawaii won't matter'. Now is that nice? Hawaiians are Americans too, LOL. Seriously, absentee ballots got really, really popular here in Ohio this election. I guess lots of people didn't want to stand on line a long time if they didn't have to. I'd be surprised if we can tell for sure what the result is till the electoral college actually votes. We've waited since 1776. A few more days aren't gonna hurt. candystripper [sm=pole.gif]

The only president worth voting for was George Washington. I think his farewell speach was one of the greatest speachs ever written. How many presidents today would turn down a chance to be King. LOL Clinton, Bush?

I just hope that the poll workers have been counting the mail-in and early voting ballots all along. There are so many this election that the result could hinge on them, and I'd like to know the results before I go to bed.

We probably won't "officially" know who the winner is for at least a week. [:'(]

I got plenty of sleep that night!
