It will probably be the most watched election coverage in history. I'm sure there will be a large global audience as well, and I'll probably be dipping in and out all night.

I always do watch even when I tell myself not to stress out about it.

I'll have to look that up on youtube. I've not seen cnn's coverage of that night.

With talk of mail in ballots coming in days after election day it might be pointless to watch much election night.

That is cool, do you work for a campaign, media, or?

Yeah, I’ll watch, at least on and off. Thing is, I doubt we’ll know the results this year election night. And it will turn as ugly as possible if it isn’t close election night and goes the other direction afterwards - regardless of which party is which.
I'm not going to lie -- that was perhaps the most enjoyable night of tv viewing ever. That shell-shocked MSNBC panel was so fun to watch. Even Rachel Maddow nearly soiled herself.

Yep. I will probably start with OANN, maybe switch to Fox depending on who is calling states quicker. I might even unblock CNN and watch some MSNBC once its getting close to call it for Trump because I laughed so hard last time with the white lash comment LOL

I'll have the TV on, but will probably be puttering around the house getting things done. I'll probably stay up later than usual to see how things shake out (unless it's possible for it to be called early), and at some point, get too tired and go to bed.

I'll watch, but I'm not staying up for a result that may not be decided until a week after the election. In MN, I know they are accepting ballots up until November 10th and if other states are doing the same, there might be a lot of states up in the air on election night.

But who knows, the way the "polls" look, maybe Biden will run the table and it'll all be over by 10 p.m.
