We’ll be watching the results and updating you here. VA polls close at 7 pm, Maine and NJ close at 8 pm and NY polls close at 9 pm. We could actually be in for a long election if the votes are close, because then we’ll have to wait for absentee and provisional ballots to be counted.

Weird election story of the night – Hoffman in NY-23 accused Democrats of slashing tires of one of his campaign workers but it turns out the campaign worker ran over a broken bottle.
A short while ago, Conservative Doug Hoffman, the special election candidate in NY-23, breathlessly announced that frustrated Dems had slashed the tires of one of his campaign workers. Right-wing yakkers rose to heights of auto-blogotic self-asphyxiation.
Alas, closer inspection suggests, and local police confirm, said poll worker ran over a bottle.
New headline: GOP campaign worker’s tires slashed by Dem bottle.
