It gets down to gut check time around 10:00 or so, depending on how the votes are falling.
Usually over by midnight, except of course, 2000.
You may be surprised to find it's just another work day for most folks. Little noticeable difference, except around voting places.
Enjoy the experience.

Oh I know it's just a regular work day for the majority. But being an inherently lazy individual I figure I'll just give myself my own federal holiday
Besides I have family scattered around the globe who are fairly interested in what goes on here and it'll be neat to e-mail them as things unfold, even if it's at the rate of molassas in the wintertime.
Always used to watch US elections back home in South Africa. It'll be an interesting change to paricipate in one myself. If memory serves I think I've only ever voted once or twice in SA and the only time that it meant anything wasnt even an election but a referendum.
