FYI - in Michigan, some polls close at 8 EST, others at 9 EST.

Arizona - some at 9, some at 10 EST - hard to find this info (couldn't find it on CNN or TPM, found it by googling around).

So I assume we won't see results for awhile yet....plenty of time to pop the popcorn!

4. Time zone maybe? I know a sliver of Michigan is located in the Central time zone.

3. Multiple time zones.

The westernmost approximately 1/4th or 1/5th of the Upper Peninsula is on Central Time, since it shares media markets with N.E. Wisconsin. The rest of the state is on Eastern Time.

5. ALMOST ALL Michigan polls close at 8

A tiny sliver of extreme SW Michigan by Indiana is in the Central Time zone.
