No, because I'm pessimistic and from what I remember it already crashed during (or even before) the 2008, 2010 and 2012 election nights and was not visible for the whole night (or it took ca. 1 hour to log in or post something).

Do you think it will be better this time ?

I lurked on here election night 2012, and it was pretty bad.

Unless the website's infrastructure changes, I'm going to say no.

I think you're misremembering 2010.  It didn't crash for any significant length of time.  Look at the timestamps on this thread, for example:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=127334.0

There was a steady stream of posts throughout the night.  No crash.  The traffic isn't really *that* high here for midterms.  It's presidential elections that cause the forum to crash.  In 2012, the forum went down in the middle of the day on election day, and then wasn't back up until well after midnight.

Also, I hope Joe doesn't impose that silly thread splitting setup from the 2010 midterms.  (Maybe that was Spade's idea?)  Just have one megathread for Senate results, another for House results, and another for Gubernatorial results.

I think we'll be fine this November -it's only a midterm election.  I don't recall anything disastrous happening to this site in 2010.  For presidential elections, I am a little less optimistic about 2016 if 2012 is anything to go by....    Tongue

I will now accept my accolades.
