Here’s an Hour-by-Hour Breakdown of What to Look for on Election Night

(TheBlaze/AP) — Stock up on munchies and make sure the batteries in your TV remote are fresh. With this year’s presidential election razor-close to the finish, Tuesday could be a long night.

Even if the presidency isn’t decided until after midnight EST, there will be plenty of clues early in the evening on how things are going for President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. Obama has more options for piecing together the 270 electoral votes needed for victory, so any early setbacks for Romney could be important portents of how the night will end.

Here’s a timetable for armchair election watchers on how the night will unfold, based on what time the last polls close in each state. All times are EST.

-7 p.m.: Polls close in six states but all eyes will be on Virginia, the first of the battleground states to begin reporting results. If either candidate is comfortably ahead in Virginia, with 13 electoral votes, that could be a leading indicator of which way the night is going.

Virginia typically has been fairly fast at counting ballots. But there’s a new voter ID law in the state that could complicate things this year. Voters who don’t bring identification to the polls still can have their ballots counted if they produce ID by Friday. If the race in Virginia is super tight, it could come down to those provisional ballots. On Election Night, no one will even know how many of them are out there.

Virginia is especially important for Romney. In 2008, Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry Virginia since 1964. Keep an eye on turnout in northern Virginia’s Democratic strongholds for an early idea of which way the state will go.

-7:30 p.m.: Polls close in three states, including all-important Ohio (18 electoral votes) and competitive North Carolina (15).

If Ohio is particularly close, and polls suggest it will be, there’s a chance the outcome there won’t be known until after Election Day, and the presidency could hinge on it. In the last several elections, between 2 percent and 3 percent of the state’s votes came from provisional ballots, which aren’t counted until later. In 2004, after a long, tense night counting votes, the presidential race wasn’t decided until 11 a.m. the next day, when Democrat John Kerry called President George Bush to concede Ohio and the presidency.

Romney desperately needs Ohio; no Republican has won the presidency without it. Without Ohio, Romney would need victories in nearly all the remaining up-for-grabs states and he’d have to pick off key states now leaning Obama’s way, such as Wisconsin and Iowa. Obama has more work-arounds than Romney if he can’t claim Ohio.

In North Carolina, the most conservative of the hotly contested states, Romney appeared to have the late edge in polling. Obama, who narrowly won the state in 2008, has paid less attention to it recently. An Obama victory there could point to broader troubles for Romney.

-8 p.m.: More pieces of the puzzle will start falling into place as polls close in the District of Columbia and 16 states, including battlegrounds Florida (29) and New Hampshire (four).

Democratic-leaning parts of Florida tend to be the last places to report, so be careful about jumping to a conclusion if Romney looks strong early on. Most of the polls in Florida close at 7 p.m. Eastern, so by 8 p.m. Eastern, when the last polls close, results will start to roll out quickly. But fully 4.5 percent of votes in Florida weren’t counted on election night in 2008, so if things are tight, no one’s going to be hasty about declaring a victor in the state. Especially after the 2000 fiasco in which the winner in Florida, and thus the presidency, wasn’t determined for more than a month. If you want to get really granular, Hillsborough County, home to Tampa, is widely considered a bellwether for the state.

Tiny New Hampshire is another competitive state to watch closely.

Also keep watch on Pennsylvania for any signs of a Romney surprise. The state has long been considered safe for Obama, but Republicans started running ads there in the final week of the campaign and the GOP ticket was campaigning there Sunday. No Republican presidential candidate has carried the state in nearly a quarter century.

-8:30 p.m.: Polls close in Arkansas (six), where Romney is comfortably ahead in surveys.

-9 p.m.: Polls close in 14 states, including battlegrounds Colorado (nine) and Wisconsin (10). Democrats have carried Wisconsin for six straight presidential elections and Obama had the edge in polling going in, so a flip here would be especially noteworthy.

Colorado, where almost 80 percent of voters cast early ballots, could be a straggler because it’s so close. Historically, as much as 10 percent of the state’s vote doesn’t get counted on election night, and those ballots could be decisive in a close race.

Information from exit polls could help flesh out the Colorado picture: Young professionals and Hispanic voters were central to Obama’s victory there in 2008, but the sluggish economy has hurt his standing.

Two more to watch: Minnesota and Michigan. The states long have been considered safe for Obama, but the Republicans made late moves there.

- 10 p.m.: Polls close in four states, including the last of the battlegrounds, Iowa (six) and Nevada (six).

Iowa’s been leaning toward Obama, but watch how the vote breaks down geographically. Can Romney’s advantage in GOP-heavy western Iowa overcome Obama’s edge in eastern swing territory?

If Obama wins Ohio and Wisconsin, Romney would have to have help from the West, in places like Nevada and Colorado. Nevada, where two-thirds of the electorate votes early, has been moving Obama’s direction in recent weeks, powered by strength in huge labor and Hispanic voting blocs. A Romney incursion there would really mean something

-11 p.m.: Polls close in five western states, but most are foregone conclusions for Obama. He gets 78 electoral votes from California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington; Romney gets four from Idaho.

- 1 a.m. Wednesday: The last of the polls close, in Alaska. Romney gets three electoral votes. Will everyone still be awake?

Political junkies could well be waiting to see how things play out in one or more battleground states, before the final announcement is made.

      Which is why they register dead people, illegals and felons. They have to have a margin to make 4-5 votes per democrat look acceptable and under the 100% of total voters.

      There is no way it will be a landslide win for Romney. There is a very slight chance Obama will win in a landslide (due to the electoral college), but most likely it will be a very, very close vote and come down to 5 states,=.

    Washington (state) goes Obama ONLY because King County (where Seattle is located and the most populous) votes that way. They overpower all the other counties, who will tend to vote for Romney. That’s why we have two useless senators as well. Murray only won one county (King). Her opponent took all the other counties. So…we are labled as a “blue” state.

      _________________________________________________________________________________

      Ah hello, Paultards are liberals (liberal-tarians), they are the No-government Anarchist wing of the party while the Obamabots are the Big government Nanny State branch of the party. In the end both wings of the party share about 80-90% of the same beliefs and goals, they just disagree about the path to getting there. This is why their threats not to vote for Romney are meaningless, because none of them would ever vote for a Republican in the first place (Paul is not a Republican, he only has an R next to his name so he can get into debates and pretend to be relevant). When they vote for nut jobs like Gary Johnson they are actually costing Obama votes, not Romney.

      Oklahoma- Except for the fact that Ron Paul is a conservative constitutionalist. I didn’t realize the constitution was “anarchist.” By the way anarchists are extreme right wing. I don’t really get where people get off saying fascism is right wing. To me, the political scale has always been the size of government. So commies and marxists would be extreme left while anarchists would be extreme right. RP and the constitution would be more “conservative” than most of the Republican party. Come on now. So Liberal libertarians would still be very right right wing but they would just call themselves socially liberal libertarians or just liberal libertarians and people would get the gist of what they are talking about.

    If I stayed up to watch the election coverage, it would not change the outcome. Of course I want Romney to win. I will try not to loose sleep over it. I hope I will sleep soundly that night knowing that ultimately, The Lords will, will be done.

    Also, keep your eyes on the Gary Johnson results (if they even show them). If they dont show them, i guess you gotta look them up. If Gary Johnson gets 5%, he will gain instant ballot access in every state and a proportional amount of money that democrats and republican parties currently enjoy. Ballot acces is a huge deal because they spend millions of hours on it every election when they could be doing outreach

And lets not forget the one nation on the planet that is running by the Libertarian model, the great nation of SOMALIA!! Here is a great summation of Libertarians I just found. “Libertarianism is a kind of business-worshiping cultish religion, which churns out annoying flamers who resemble nothing so much as street-preachers on the Information Sidewalk” Yeeha!

    Have plenty of batteries and flash lights for when the power goes off across the country. If you have a fire place make sure you have enough wood for a long spell. If you want to protect yourselv it is to late. Here in Oklahoma the only ammo available is.22 and odd ball stuff like .38/.40 – .20/.25 etc. If you have old lanters by lantern oil, it gives off light and a little heat. The folks up in NJ, NY and that area heard the news buy didn’t get food, batteries, water and many are waiting on the Government while starving and freezing to death. Of course this part of the country was disarmed years ago.

    Let me be perfectly clear. If you voted for me in the last election, either because you are a racist or to prove you are not a racist, which is also racist; then you’ll have to vote for someone else on Tuesday to prove you are not an idiot.

    Make no mistake, on one hand I would like you to vote for me again, but let’s be honest. If you do, it’s likely that I will continue to spend us into oblivion and abandon our Ambassadors and troops in the field. Being broke and emboldening our enemy will probably lead to the downfall of America.

    If that happens no one is going to be getting a government check at all, and I have a really big one coming that I’m really looking “forward” to each month as a former President. So please, I’m begging you, do NOT vote for me again!

    Please just let me retire. I’ve done my job of killing the economy, increasing unemployment and creating government dependency, perhaps even a little to well. Rest assured Mitt can make the corrections needed to save our checks by saving the United States from total destruction.

    Vote for the American this time!

    It’s good to be King!

    I’m not kidding, just look at my record and see the truth!

Not to forget all of the dead people voting, the illigals voting. On and on they do nothing but lie, cheat and steal to push there agenda.
