We are going to be out of the country the week prior I could not be happier about that. I will have sent in my mail in vote weeks prior and already have received the two confirmation emails letting me know it has been received and has been counted.  |

You didn’t have “chronic diarrhea as you await results,” but that would be my choice.

I seem to recall when it was Trump/Clinton I went to bed with Hilary in the lead and woke up to what I thought was a joke and couldn't believe he won.
I'm in Canada, so not as high stakes as you all - but we will pay attention for sure.

I can’t help myself. I will be following along all day. I am really hoping that Kamala has a wave of enthusiasm moving her along in those last couple of weeks. I am so tired of feeling stressed about Donald Trump.

There is no way in hell I won't be glued to my TV after about 5pm MST.

My dh and I were just talking about this. He of course will be up until the election is called. On the phone with our ds from Georgia. lol. They each have a USA map where they color in the states as the results come in. For me... I'm not sure yet. I still remember with trump/Clinton, going to bed when it was starting to look hopeless, then waking up the next morning and looking at my phone.  So I don't know... |

I am a chief and run a polling site for our village. I will not get to see any info until after I run the tapes and go home. No media allowed on site.
Once home I will be watching!

I'm all in. I'm going to follow closely. I went to bed last time trump won expecting to wake up to a hillary win. Instead, I woke up to my daughter poking me saying "Mom, he won" with complete horror. I don't think I'll be able to sleep, frankly. ^^^ yeah, that. I need to know. I might not be watching it on tv, but I'll be on my phone or iPad as long as I can stay awake. |

I teach piano until 7 on Tuesday nights, but I’ll be glued to the couch watching after that. Hoping for a victory so resounding that Georgia’s little ballot counting scam won’t matter. I think the Rs are seriously underestimating the effect the abortion issue will have on turnout and voting patterns.
I was pleased to see that some state senator in Nebraska nixed their attempt to return to winner take all instead of letting Omaha’s vote go to Harris.

I will be in Cancun. And yes, we have absentee ballots. I will be looking at the phone all day and night. And praying.

I can already feel a knot in my stomach just thinking about it. But I will be watching. Same here. I actually have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, so I am just taking the whole day off. I might take up day drinking on Wednesday. Either to celebrate or drown my sorrows. I sincerely hope we know the answer then. I am hoping against hope it will be a landslide for Harris/Walz, but I am fearful. I don't think I can stand another long drawn out event like 2020. The end result was worth the wait, but it was excruciating. I have to work for a few hours on Wednesday morning, but I will be watching when I get back. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is quite a bit of day drinking. If Trump loses, I will be wondering if we are finally rid of him.🙏🏻 |

When Trump won the last time, I was up half the night writing a paper for class and following election results. It was horrible and stressful.
This time I hope to ignore it and find out in the AM. It’s going to be dreadful.

I have two friends flying in and we will scream, cry, freak out, and celebrate together. This is our 3rd presidential election together.

Thanks for the reminder. I just put in for the day off on November 6th. No way will I be able to sleep that night.

Just thinking back to when election night was maybe interesting and important but not a matter of such nail biting and anxiety. Those were the days!

I’ll watch unless things start looking dark.  I remember in 2016 when I realized what was happening. Decided to go to bed instead of getting blind drunk. I have no expectation of any race being called that night, but will be interested enough to see what is happening on the east coast to tune in for a bit. |

In 2016 I watched in growing horror, and eventually gave up and turned on a movie. (Suffragette… I needed something to remind me how far we had come!)
In 2020, I was in Hawaii, and celebrated more and more as the night went on.
So this year, I guess I’ll have a stock of both cocktails and whiskey, and we’ll see which one I drink depending on how things go. 😜

I don't think we will know right away. I am depressed over the amount of people in my state, North Carolina, that say they are still voting for Mark Robinson. WTF, people?

I will be at work until 10pm. Will try to sneak on my phone some and check, though most of my co workers are, well part of the red state i live in, so we disagree..

You didn’t have “chronic diarrhea as you await results,” but that would be my choice. Seriously. I will be up watching for a while. My DD and DH will probably lose interest and just check in with updates but I will be glued for a long while. Wednesday is usually a pretty light day for me so I will be all in Tuesday night. I don't think we will necessarily know by the end of the night but a girl can hope. I am a west coast girlie and would love it all to be called once the polls close out here but it has been a while since that has been happened. I am planning on buying some cheesecake. Either way, I will want it. |
