1. I'm going to bed early ...

...and get up around 2:3- CST to see the Western States results coming in....

[vercetti2021]

2. We are gonna be home

But probably will move to our other families house if Biden wins PA or FLA. Less than 10 but enough for a party!

[RainCaster]

3. On line, watching the results

[House of Roberts]

4. Checking DU frequently to make sure it's still up and running.

[Le Roi de Pot]

6. Shit ..I remember that evening!

[Polly Hennessey]

5. Watching Law and Order reruns.

I will be hoping I am going to be happy. I might sneak a peak at DU. I know, I am a coward.

[Zoonart]

7. Breathing into a paper bag.

[LizBeth]

8. Since it is only me, I guess I will have to drink the bottle of champagne myself.

[a kennedy]

13. There will be me and my husband, with a very expensive bottle of champagne.

[LizBeth]

17. I can go cheap, I am easy that way, lol. Good for you and cheers.

[Le Roi de Pot]

19. Maybe a bunch of single DU'er can do a zoom party

[LizBeth]

22. That would be fun.

[Le Roi de Pot]

24. Let's plan!!

[LizBeth]

36. I have never done zoom. Tis scary to me, lol.

[a kennedy]

39. and really I'm a cheap gal too, not this time baby......

I’m going to enjoy every dang ounce.

[LizBeth]

40. You might be right, what is in a couple handful of bucks with the end to the disastrous 2016 mess.

[shenmue]

31. You drink that! Drink it good!

[LizBeth]

37. Drink it good, lol, for sure.

[mdelaguna]

9. Watching tv in the background and glued to DU.

[beastie boy]

10. Waiting for shit to hit the fan. No matter the outcome, I very much expect it to happen after Nov. 3

[CTyankee]

11. I gave up drinking because of health problems, but that night I will have a wee drop of wine.

[llmart]

12. Watching returns on PBS.

Probably pacing/biting my fingernails/snacking which I never do. I'll be a wreck unless they call it early for Biden. I'll probably be back and forth on DU also. I'm nervous already now that you mentioned it and I'm not the nervous type. I just keep getting flashbacks to 2016 and I'm afraid the GOP is already set up to steal it again.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. I'll read for a while, then turn in early.

About 4am, I'll put on the coffee, turn on the TV, and switch between MSNBC and FOX News to see what's being said. I guess I don't have any big expectations that the results will be conclusive yet.

[whistler162]

15. Sleeping as usual.

[David__77]

16. Keeping an eye out for fascists.

...

[Ms. Toad]

18. Hanging out in the county board of elections, or "war" room

fielding last minute calls, or watching ballots come in, to make sure there is no last minute funky business.

(I've been an observer on behalf of the Democratic presidential candidate the last 3 years. I'll be doing that again this year - although I don't have my specific assignment yet.)

[dixiechiken1]

20. Taking an ambien & going to bed early.

Extremely early. I'm cautiously optimistic but still shell-shocked from 2016.

[Maeve]

21. I will be working the election and won't get home until @ 10 pm

By then, we will have a pretty good idea how things are going. I expect Hubby will have the champagne ready to pop and serve.

[catbyte]

23. This...

[shenmue]

30. Yay!

[grantcart]

44. Me too and I don't drink

[catbyte]

45. Me neither. 😂

Well, once in a blue moon, but essentially I'm a non-drinker.

[IcyPeas]

25. being totally frazzled

the closer it gets to Nov 3 the more frazzled I become. I will barely be able to watch the results. The news is going to sound like a boxing match... who's up, who's down, it'll be unwatchable, yet I'll have to watch.

[smirkymonkey]

26. Probably online, may have the TV on.

May have some wine to take the edge off. It's going to be a bumpy night. I am definitely taking the next day off of work, that's for sure.

[marlakay]

27. I watch everytime sometimes if volunteering

At a party in a restaurant for volunteers like the first time Obama won.

This time I am thinking of forcing myself not to watch, listen, read the whole day. Not sure if I can but I am too scared of what could happen. Last time we all thought we had it too and polls were wrong. Maybe its because I live in a red city and see Trump signs all over.

[Wicked Blue]

28. Either cowering under the covers and shaking with nerves

or on DU intermittently, still shaking with nervousness

[shenmue]

29. Running around screaming

Possibly without clothing.

[Awsi Dooger]

32. Watching Steve Schale's twitter feed

He'll dissect Florida. All margin of error for Biden runs through Florida.

Plus the Florida results will provide great indication of whether polling elsewhere is accurate or not. We need indication that the rural counties are less slanted toward Trump and that the swing counties like Pinellas have shifted toward Biden.

Florida via Schale will provide all of that. We should know where the election is headed by 8 PM and what Schale is reporting

[Talitha]

33. Outside with my telescope if it's a clear night, inside reading a book if it's cloudy.

I might tune in the radio/tv every few hours to see how things are progressing. It all depends on how good Mars and the Moon look, or how absorbed I am in the book.

[Iggo]

34. Streaming fiction in the living room, with my phone on silent in the other room. (n/t)

[Brainfodder]

35. Not turning on TV until 8PM this time.

Gonna smoke 15% more cannabis that day then usual?

[cayugafalls]

38. Watching sans alcohol.

Surfing DU...commenting, posting music videos...

Praying.

[davsand]

41. Weed is legal here. I plan to stay baked.

I can't drink with the meds I take, so weed is gonna be my numbing agent for election night. I'm hoping it is actually a fairly early night for local races. I do not expect that the Presidential race will be declared for several days, but I do think we will have a pretty good idea. If turnout is high I think it should good night for Dems up and down the ticket.

[BainsBane]

42. I could use some of that Valium

Alas no doctor will give it to me--something about not becoming a drug addict.

[marie999]

43. Normal evening,

my husband and I will have a nice dinner, soothing bath in the Jacuzzi, sex, and a good nights sleep. Don't worry about something you don't have any control over.

[catbyte]

46. I'll also be fervently hoping we don't get hacked like we did on 2016.

I was traumatized; still am thinking about it. DU was down for what seemed like weeks.

[chriscan64]

47. I have not seen a Democrat declared the winner on TV since 1996.

In 2008 I was at work. In 2012 I was home but my local station ignored the warning not to cut in since results were imminent. Why they cut in was inexplicable. The local Mitt Romney headquarters also served as the headquarters for opposition to a local proposition to create pre-schools in San Antonio, called Pre-K for SA. When Obama was declared the winner, all I got to see was the looks on the faces of the Romney people as they got to see the results I was missing.

This year I will be home, praying the declaration will be on election night.

[Kaleva]

48. I'll be here at DU and in another tab, lurking at FR

[helpisontheway]

49. Hopefully on DU unless those assholes hack it again. I about lost it without

DU last time. I finally gave up and went to bed as things turned awful.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

50. Debating: Alcohol or Xanax

Would really want to bust out that top shelf bourbon I’ve been promising myself for 4 years, but the way things look I might wait until January 20th just to be safe. (Knock on wood.)

[dawg]

51. If only it were safe ...

I think I'd have myself placed in a medically-induced coma from November 2nd until such time as the election has been settled and a clear winner determined.

I'm going to be so stressed it will be hard to function.

[occupant]

52. Now BLOW

Blowing out 66 candles with a fork in hand, preparing to eat an entire Sanders Colonial Buttercream cake all by myself. I may share with my SO. I was thinking Strawberry Margaritas on the side while watching MSNBC until oh dark thirty, stopping for an occasional prayer that Joe wins. Happy Birthday to Me...

[DFW]

53. November 3rd?

You gotta be kidding. I'm lucky if I know what country I'll be in three days from now, let alone 3 weeks.

[Greybnk48]

54. In a fetal position in my bedroom.

I'm not sure I can watch.

[Greybnk48]

55. The 2016 election was on my 71st birthday.

Birthdays will not be the same for a while, but I'm hoping this one is dramatically different!
