When can we expect the first actual numbers to come in?

I know it’s probably gonna be a long night/few days before we have any solid answers, but curious when the first polls will start to close. 6 Eastern time?

4. In general, the east coast will report earlier.

For some reason, it’s the same every election. My flat-earth model predicts every place reporting at the same time.

I am sure there is a democratic conspiracy in there somewhere.

That, or my flat-earth model needs some tweaking.

8. Time Zones are a Soros plot to undermine something we don't understand!!!

That's what makes them so insidious!!!

3. An early tell may be NC

Neither PA or Ga will have any count for quite a while. NC counts the vote pretty fast so it may be a barometer as to how the rest of the night will go.

11. I think New Hampshire will be first to give an outlook.
