I want an election like the Super Bowls I grew up with. Over early. With Obama playing the role of the NFC team that destroys Mitt Bronco Bill Romney.

Look, I've watched election nights since 1992. So I only know from 2 things, Dems win big or GOP wins close. If Obama is called the winner at 3 AM by a margin of 272-266, great. But I'd rather know early. We can stay up late for the US senate races. Let Tammy Baldwin win by 5000 votes.

It seems Illinois will also close at 7 ET, so Romney won't get that early lead.

Illinois usually closes at 8 ET. Are they thinking about changing it for this election?

Why'd they do that? So the polls are going to close at 6 their time? That makes no sense.
