Nothing to report for the next hour or so. At 7:00 we will have three crucial poll closings (and potential deal breaker for McCain): Georgia, Virginia and Indiana.

Welcome to PollTrack's Election Night LIVE BLOG. Park your
MAP on Election Day Today. States will be updated as soon as results are
known. The color coding for Election Night: BLUE: WIN
Obama, RED: WIN McCain, Green: "Too Close To Call" OR "Not Enough Data To Call" after State
closing; Gray: State Voting Not Yet Closed. For
states where results are uncontested, PollTrack will post results onto the map without
commentary. The blog will perk up only when there is something to report--the
meaning of a result, a trend, an implication about the closeness or narrowness
of a win. REFRESH the map/blog page to receive the most updated posts. As long as
yout map is clicked onto Election Day Today, that map will remain on the
screen when the page refreshes. Good Luck!

Our Election Day Today map will be cleared back to gray over the next 24 hours in anticipation of our Election Night Live Blog. The Election Day Map will be filled in throughout the night as states are won and will serve as a record of the final results of Election 2008. Tomorrow's Map Today (and by Monday, Election Day will, in fact, be tomorrow) will contain PollTrack's final prediction of trends in the presidential race. Today's Map will register the state of the statewide polling as is, warts and all, close and not so close, ambiguous and clear-cut in the twenty-four hour period before voting actually begins. All three maps will be archived on our site and available in perpetuity, a history of this historic and exciting presidential cycle

In anticipation of our Live Blog on Election night, tune in throughout the morning and afternoon of Election Day for updates on voting and trends. One thing you will not get, however: exit poll vote projections. PollTrack conforms to proper journalistic standards, and these include not releasing or discussing exit poll data, except demographic trends, until all of the polls are closed in a state. Given the inaccuracy of exit polls--they were often wrong during the primary and caucus season--and the need to properly weight and interpret data culled from these surveys, we will also not publish unprocessed
raw exit numbers.This policy is consistent with others on our site. We are committed to fair, accurate, non-partisan analysis of elections.
