So people everywhere are waiting for the results of today’s Presidential election in the United States. In the past, I’ve periodically checked in through the evening to see who was leading. Tonight is different. I’m going to try to distract myself and maybe check at 1am to see how it turned out (assuming things didn’t go crazy and we still don’t know). We know @NJChicaa is going to be watching all the coverage as she is a self admitted political junkie. What about the rest of you? Non Americans, are you interested? @marguicha says she is. Those who live here, are you going to be glued to the news, or are you going to check back tomorrow morning for the results? It could take longer to know for sure.

I will be watching the news this evening and will be glued to the TV. They say we will not know the winner until later in the week though. I just pray it is not a Bush V Gore thing though as Trump will never give up. We would be in limbo for weeks or .months .

I will not worry about it. It could be a few days yet before we know for sure.

My left eye is achey; acting like something is in it. But by tonight I will have to be feeling good enough to drive us to the train station. The local Democrats are having a watch party there. I live in a red pocket so this will be interesting.

I am curious . . . I'm sure I'll be peeking throughout the evening. They say we can see how results are trending, but we won't know the final outcome until a few days. Going to take this day by day if I can . . . if anything I hope it all stays peaceful.

I’ll do what I always do in the evening: get up from my nap, have my prayer and Bible reading time, eat dinner, and then worry about it. Maybe watch severe weather coverage if there’s any going on.

There is always anxiety while awaiting for election results. But I believe America is a mature democracy and Americans do not have to worry much during this time. Anyway my thoughts are with you. May the best candidate take the day!

I won't check in until at least the 11pm news. I doubt we'll know definitely until tomorrow or maybe even the next day

I check in every couple of hours. But I doubt I'll stay up late. Me staying up late isn't going to change anything lol.
