And, now that his prominence has risen dramatically, an additional question: Will 538's servers melt before the first polls close?

Well, the largest political thread on record (according to the Top Comments page) is the HCR voting thread, at 8573 comments, so we have a high bar to clear. :)

We've been melting the servers in the football threads, so I can't see how they wouldn't choke, at least once.

Mike has been doing some upgrades and such and he's hopeful that fark won't crash.

Now, the real question is which will crash first? Twitter or Fark?

Time to go to bed, I think. Lots of derp to herp tomorrow.

SHUT

DOWN

EVERYTHING

/too soon?

Wolf Blitzer = the big winner.

The comment count hasn't hit infinity yet? For shame!

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

Dixville Notch was a tie! We got a horse race ladies and germs!

After the election someone please take the phrase "horse race" behind the barn and shoot it. Thanks

Ross Perot is totally winning this election.

It's plain ridiculous that we continue to allow the weather to have an impact on elections. As Bathia Mapes can attest to, we here in Oregon know how to do elections. I only hope other states will come join us in the 21st century sooner than later.

Good, because I'm freaking done with libtardos.

I voted early, and I'm off today to vote again!

I'll split the ticket on this one and say both.

Let it be known that I was witness to the following devastation.

i am so looking forward to the tears of teabaggers tomorrow.
i plan to be entertained for weeks.

Are the results from that one hamlet in yet?

Y'know, the town with like 50 people in either Vermont or NH that pride themselves on being the first in the country to vote. Polls open at 12.01am and close once everybody's finished voting (usually before 1).

Surprisingly empty for such a historic and emotional thread.


/with a picture of what empty might look like

Bit early, Fark.

Obama has sealed the coyote vote!

In early to not give a shiat.

East coast totals are coming in...

Oh, wait. I'm not supposed to post that yet.

It survived 2008, and that was before it was ratcheted to the NY Times.

Voted on Saturday. Feel kind of lame for being excited to see how this turns out...

So what are we looking at here? Plutocratic theocracy or a thousand years of darkness?

I'm told it's going to be one or the other.

i'm still promising two cherry coke buttons on the cafeteria machines if anybody wants to throw a student body pres. vote my way.

Go banana!

Dixville Notch. It was a tie. 5-5.

Pages on 538 have only been loading for me about 2/3 of the time since 10pm EST

Teddy or Franklin Delano?

Anyway, it's very late and I already voted. Since we won't be able to call the election one way or another for at least 19 hours, I'll head to bed now and pop in sometime tomorrow.

/penis

Have they called Massachusetts yet?

Washington's exclusively vote by mail as well.

///It's weird not being able to vote for DeFazio.

Election thread already? It's 11:00PM Mountain Time on a Monday.

Gonna be a long day. I've got a bottle of Buffallo Trace to kill the pain and to celebrate with. See you all in this and the dozen other threads.

Gary Johnson with a darkhorse victory would be outstanding.

/not gonna happen
//but oh so delicous if it did

I figured that's all it would take :-)

Wow, we're kicking this shiat off early!

Just got my card for DC in the mail the other day, but I still have an MD license so I will go to the polls and see what they say. If I can't vote, I'll survive.

Think I may blow a few hours tonight creating amusing PSs!

Indeed. Voted two weeks ago in the great state of Oregon - no lines at the kitchen table.

Go big O! Four more years of a grownup at the helm.

Polls don't open for almost 6 more hours here.. off to WoW.
