The Final US Election Thread

[Banquo's Ghost]

I'll add my thanks to CA for a thorough and detailed opening post. Excellent work!

Things look quite extraordinary from potential turn-out point of view. Some commentators I've seen are predicting a possible 85% turn-out - with a more likely figure being 65%. This is just wonderful - people inspired to vote, willing to stand in long queues for hours to exercise their franchise.

After all my fears of voter apathy in Western democracies, it looks like the United States are going to prove me wrong again!

EDIT: According to the Beeb, Dixville Notch, New Hampshire went 15-6 to Obama. It was Hart's Location that went 17-10.
