We all know Tuesday is Election Day here in the U.S. I’m sure it’s an election that the world will be watching, as well as very nervous Americans.
I’ll be posting frequent updates here (probably every half-hour to hour) and will be Twittering updates as well.
The races I’ll be paying particular attention to are:
