Probably some visibility stuff or GOTV, and then sitting in my room with my TV on and my computer on.

I am taking the day off actually. I'll be voting in the morning to try and beat the main flood, and will be spending the rest of the day watching the news for  returns and such. If things are going slow, I might go pick up something from the local Taco Bell.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Does anybody know if CNN, Fox News, or MSNBC have all-day Election Day coverage planned and what the details are?

[poughies]

I would be shocked if MSNBC does not.... In fact, I believe they said they would.

[Jake]

School, bumming around, watching FNC for results, going to bed really late.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

This year it'll be like this:

right before 11 AM - vote
11-12:15 PM - class
12:15-1PM - slack off/drive to work
1-5PM - work
5-8PM - GOTV
8PM - end of night - watch results

I'd prefer to take Election Day off altogether, but we're so understaffed on Tuesdays and I don't want to leave them hanging. So I negotiated to come in early and work a shorter shift to give me some time for GOTV at peak hours.

[Moooooo]

4am - Wake up, eat breakfast, drink a couple cups of coffee.
5am - Read the news.
5:30am - head to the local Democratic HQ's
6am to 4pm - Troubleshoot (Setup rides to the polls, replace downed signs, drop off lit, food, etc. to poll workers, direct volunteers to areas with low turnout to knock on doors and make calls).  Vote.
4pm to 6pm - Final stretch: Knock on doors, make phone calls, etc. to people who havent voted yet.
7pm - Pray for a big victory.
7pm to 2am - Party hard due to a big victory or drink my sorrows if we lose both races here in MD.

[dazzleman]

Except for voting in the morning, and briefly watching returns in the evening, it will be like any other day.

I don't anticipate staying up half the night to await returns.  I have to work the next day, so I'll be content to find out the results in the morning.  I'm not directly involved in any campaigns, and my watching or not watching isn't going to change any results.

[Silent Hunter]

A normal Tuesday really. I'll go to sleep at the usual time, but wake up at 3am BST to check how things are going.

[Keystone Phil]

Notice how I am micromanaging this day. I wonder when things will go out of whack and screw up my whole schedule...



6:00 - Wake up.

Whenever I am done showering and stuff - Go to the polls.

7:30 - Leave for school.

8:40-10:00 - Take a stupid math test that just had to be scheduled on Election day.

After test - Leave school to get back to the Northeast.

Whenever I get back - 7:40 - Work my polling place, possibly do a few quick lit drops/phone calls/knocking to get people in my area out to vote then leave twenty minutes before the polls close.

7:40 - 8:00 or so - Shower, get dressed, etc. for the night's events.

8:20 or 8:30 - Get results from polling place.

8:40 - Take results to ward headquarters.

Whenever I get to ward meeting place - about 9:15 or so - Hang out with committeepeople, hand in results, etc.

9:15 - Head back to my house.

9:30 - Leave for party for Congressman Fitzpatrick.

10:00 - whenever - Arrive at party and hopefully celebrate a victory.

My friend and I will await word on results from PA 8 and then find out how our candidate in one of our State House districts is doing. Once we find out what's going on in his race, we'll head all the way to the far ends of Montgomery county to his party. Needless to say, November 7th will be a very long and hectic day. I probably won't get to bed until about 3 AM and then wake up for school at 7 AM. 

[Tender Branson]

7:30am: Wake up -> breakfast, reading the newspaper then showering

8:15am: Driving to work

12:00 to 1pm: Lunch break

1pm to 6pm: work

get home, probably get myself something to eat, turn on the TV or the Notebook, check the atlas and polls, make some comments etc. probably do something else which I don´t know yet.

Because it´s a Tuesday and i´m in Austria i will probably not hang out with my friends until 2am Wednesday (=8pm EST) therefore I will go to sleep and get my alarm bell ready for 2am Wednesday to watch CNN when the results come in

[Harry Hayfield]

And then continue tallying until all seats declared.

I'll probably be scheduled to work at some point during the day; but at night my housemates and I will be glued to the TV/our laptops.

There's no school that day where I am as we're a polling place.  So I'll probably wake up, hang out with some people, come home, and then watch returns all night.

It just occured to me that I never applied for an absentee ballot.  I'm gonna call tomorrow and see if I can still get one.

Even those there's only two races--MS Senate and MS-3 Representative, if it's too late to get an an absentee ballot, I'll drive home (2 hours each way) that afternoon and vote.
