What time do you think we'll know who won?

[gollygee]

I want to let my 14-year-old watch the results come in, but they have school early in the morning and I'm worried about how late it might go.

And I'm also curious about what people are thinking.

(We are EST)

Any guesses?

1. When California polls close...

2. Depends on Florida

If Florida goes HRC by 11:30 or so...if Florida goes Trump then look out.

13. this. Florida and North Carolina will tell us how long the night will be.

3. When PA and FL go to Hillary, they will call it. OH and NC won't matter.

[milestogo]

17. yup

[s-cubed]

4. Let your kid watch! This is historic, and way more important than one day of school..

Personally, I think it will be early, as I think 2 or 3 of the big trio OH, PA, and FL will go early. Just FL and game over for rump.

5. As soon as all the ad revenue for the evening dried up.....

7. January 6, 2017, before 5 PM I'd guess

That is when Congress meets in joint session to receive and confirm the Electoral College vote.

8. Get him into his jammies and put him on the sofa with a blanket

He'll probably drop off before the final temper tantrum from Trump and can spend the night on the couch, it won't kill him.

Even if he stays awake very late, he won't be the only sleep deprived kid in school on Wednesday.

This election will be one for the history books. Either we'll have the first woman president or it'll be our last election.

10. I already know who won.

[stamp the rooster]

11. About when

Billy Bush and Trump get off the bus. Maybe a few minutes before.

[randome]

12. We already know who's won the Presidency. What matters is how the Senate turns out.

That may not be decided until late in the day.

14. I always let my kids stay up late for it.

They fell asleep around midnight, on floors or couches, with a nest of blankets. I miss those times.

15. When it is reported that Jim Gray has defeated Rand Paul in Kentucky...

For the US Senate.

[CanonRay]

16. 9:01 Eastern.

When Colorado comes in.

18. in 2008 it was pretty clear by about 9pm est

once Indiana tipped blue (first time since 1964) - we knew it was a wrap for Obama.
