It's +5 hours for CEST since we're out of DST this weekend, right?

Here's Wikipedia's defintion of CEST:

Quote
Central European Summer Time (CEST) is the standard clock time observed during the period of summer daylight-saving in those European countries which observe Central European Time (UTC + one hour) during the rest of the year. It corresponds to UTC + two hours.

Looks like it's actually EST +6. EST is UTC-5, so you're six hours ahead of it right now, six hours once DST ends.

Looks like it's actually EST +6. EST is UTC-5, so you're seven hours ahead of it right now, six hours once DST ends.

So DST has already ended in the US?

It ends on November 2nd, election day is the 4th. Still, messed up my calculation a bit there. You're six hours ahead of EST now, and will still be six hours ahead on election day. Post edited.
