At work till midnight, won't get home till 12.45am at the earliest, will probably watch it on one of the US TV stations and keep the tapatalk app open on my phone as well.

Whatever Boston TV local station (I get them up north) has the less terrible coverage.

I'll probably look at how things are going in a few places online (e.g. the BBC, things people say here), but I won't be staying up specially to watch things unfold.

Online, looking at numbers, ignoring pundits. Seconded. I'm only really bothered about the stats and the figures; I certainly don't want to have to wade through acres of talking head "commentary". For that reason I don't intend to follow the results as they come in. I'll wait until it's all over and then start analyzing things more closely. |

Me, odo and Arthur are going to be sleeping together. What, all in the same bed? Ah, the ol' Devil's three-way...  I agree that the BBC has got the ratio of talking heads to actual data on screen very wrong over the past few US general elections, but I find that flipping the ratio on its head and turning a TV show into an info dump would also be the wrong approach. |

The real question is who on the forum can match the doktorb🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ meltdown of 4 years ago. |

They should learn from past mistakes at various elections. But they won't as they're incapable of doing so. Probably I'll have CNN on the TV and Vote UK Forum on the computer with an automatically updating website (not sure which if any would be best) also open. |

Here, laptop & iPad. I'll flick through the TV coverage until I settle for the least irritating
But mainly numbers & here
Will we have just one generic thread, or are our esteemed mods going to run separate ones ? (Senate, key states etc)
If we are, can we have a dedicated 'election night partisan bollocks' one as a filter please

I'll be following the election online: here, and via DailyKos mostly. The latter run a very good election night operation, with lots of stats on a state-by-state basis. I'll dip into other sites like CNN as well, but staying away from the broadcast media as the coverage is generally so banal.

When he steadfastly claimed Romney was winning as the early results came in, and refused to listen to anybody telling him this wasn't actually the case. As already mentioned, its still all there on the relevant thread  |

Mostly online with Sky News on in the background. The referendum was the first major vote where I barely looked at the BBC at all, having given up on the notion that they might ever cover an election properly again (i.e. with serious analysis of the incoming figures, proper briefs for the presenters, informed reporters, minimal talking-point repeating politicians, no celebs on boats on the Thames, etc). Sky is not great either but a little less annoying.

I don;t have CNN or anythning like that so it will be BBC or SKy.. probably flick between the two as Sky will irritate me with all the ad breaks and the BBC will just irritate me full stop. I shall probably be online and following events on here too.
