First clue tomorrow - Indiana - 6pm EST poll closing

[Jersey Devil]

I think seeing whether Donnelly holds or loses his seat in either a squeaker or a blowout will tell us a lot about what might happen the rest of the night pretty early. Don't know how fast Indiana tallies its vote, but it should be the first to report a result I would think.

Next up at 7 pm EST is Georgia, Florida and Virginia, all big for us.

The list, by time: https://www.thegreenpapers.com/G18/closing.phtml?format=gc

1. hours before any statewide election results in Indiania, other races in NJ, PA and Mich for

congress that are bellweather races and if democrats win those, then its lights out for GOP

3. I'll be watching NJ, PA & NC very closely

I am very familiar with NJ and will spot big upsets right away. Same with VA. Moved to NC a few years ago and our state is so gerrymandered that if Dems take even a seat or two in NC it should be a blowout for Dems.

4. I think we can google the 4 or 5 races pollster will be waching in early returns

7. ---N.J. Upsets.

The biggest would be if the southern counties, Ocean especially go Dem.

A Menendez loss would be an upset. Why didn't the N.J. Dem leaders work to get him out?

2. Indiana is one of those, that you never know until the last minute because Gary and Southbend

tend to come in last.

If however Donnelly is holding his own elsewhere in the state, it will tell us something.

Donnelly needs to be doing around 60%+ in Marion and lake counties to even stand a chance. St Joseph county is a big bellwether in Indiana, went 47/47 in 2016.....

Things to be looking for in exit polls, party id in 2016 was 30% Dem, 42% GOP, 28% Ind.....if that split varies a lot.....

5. I believe those areas are slow to report?

6. But it is only part of Indiana, not the whole state

The rest of the state closes an hour later. I can't imagine news networks will start reporting their results at 6 PM, although internet sources might.

8. they won't say anything about Donnelly until 7

the western part of the state closes at 7. Part of Indiana is on standard time, the rest on day light savings or something like that.
