It's Election Day!!

Sent in my ballot a few weeks ago. it's been received and counted. Now I wait anxiously to see how this all pans out!! Is anyone else nervous about today? Anyone staying up through the night (or at least getting up early?)

I'm so nervous I could puke!

I'm the only American in my entire office so lots of people asking me and (of course) making jokes about "President Trump". I've felt the need to defend up til now but lately I've just been smiling politely and pretending to laugh at their jokes.

My friends and I are staying all night! We are throwing a party and plan to go into work tomorrow either jubilant or in mourning. Either way, we will definitely be hungover. 😬

I've got meetings at 10am and 2pm tomorrow. As much as I shouldn't stay up, I have a feeling my anxiousness will cause me to have broken sleep, checking my phone everytime. Soooo nervous.

Very tense here.

Did I read where we could here something at 5 am GMT?

Hi,

Depending on how key states go, then a 'good' indicator could be had at around 10PM Eastern Time or around 3am GMT.

Really, really ..  REALLY hoping Clinton gets it.

Cheers, DtM! West London & Slough UK!

DH and I have nibbles and pizza, and we're in it for the long haul.   

I have promised customers that I shall either be wearing my Uncle Sam hat and singing the Star Spangled Banner all day or that they can find me crying under one of the tables.  Will be way more nerve wracking than checking the World Series results last week ( )

Yeah.....I was hoping Clinton would win (still can I guess). But there is a part of me that hopes Trump does end up winning.....the political and business worlds are horribly corrupt (in my opinion) and at least there is a chance that he will help change things. Clinton would keep the status quo. If only Trump (and Clinton) wasn't such a crappy person.

But hey!!! there is a couple inches of snow on the ground!!

The utter stupidity (IMHO) of voters amazes me. Shake up is fine, and sometimes needed, but this???

I'm not overly religious, but all I can say is "God help us, we are going to need it."

A change of political parties could be good, but I am not a trump supporter. I kept waking up all night checking results, I was so anxious. I never remember being so anxious about prior elections.

Thank you America - UK Voters officially not the stupidest.

I thought we were trying to get away from this kind of thinking.....I certainly did not want Trump to win.....but the name calling doesn't solve anything and actually is a bit "Trump-like".

I don't know what these people want.

I can only imagine....but putting myself in a Trump supporters way of thinking (at least I think I am) and I would think a bit like the Brexit thinking likely went......
1. Is your life better/ok? If you lived in the bigger areas or had good jobs, you voted for Clinton so things would stay the same. If you lived in more rural areas, things weren't likely going so well and so any change is good change......
2. People see the people with money keep making more money while they don't have any. If you don't have money or a good job......any change is good change.
3. People are hoping things in politics would change for the better.....but all they see are things staying the same, or getting worse. Their opinions don't "appear" to be considered......any change is good change.
4. They see someone who is at least stating that he is going to "shake things up". If you are tired of what "things in general" are looking like.....any change is good change.

I can go on.....and no, I don't think "any change is good change". But I can understand the helpless feeling of people who have watched as their lives have not improved....even though they have been told they will......and now finally there is someone who "seems" like he will at least try to do something. I didn't vote (laziness+potential tax issues).......I would have voted Clinton by a long shot....but I am hoping that Trump actually carries through with some of what he is spouting..... I will make the best of things. I very much was feeling "helpless" to the political/big business machines doing things in their best interest and not in peoples best interest......in my opinion of course.
