However, you might just want to wait until tomorrow morning and see all of the states reporting results.

It's going to be slow and meaningful results won't be in until the wee hours in most places.

Like 2 or 3 days for a general election because it’s so huge and they want to make sure it’s done right. The primary will probably be a little quicker since there is no contest on the Republican side.

Given how slow CA has been receiving and counting ballots. I will be watching a basketball game and peeking at early results.

Sanders wins Vermont and Biden wins Virginia. Both of those states close at 7pm and both appear to be big wins for each candidate.

If that happens and Biden is announced winner of VA at poll close, that would probably mean a very good night for Joe.
