What time do the polls close tommorow for the primary

[JohnKleeb]

I hope the results arent counted by the time I get home from work which will be 8:40. Very nervous admitting despite the fact my guy leads in polls.

1. Don't they usually annouce returns around 9:00 in the same time zone?

I'm just guessing - wasn't it about that time for Iowa?

2. I'm hoping like mad we'll have SOME results

by about 6:30 EST. I have to speak for Kucinich at 7:30 and the President of the Democratic Club was asking if I thought we'd have any results from NH before then. I'd like to be able to give them a percentage higher than 3% by then. LOL

3. oh if its at 9 hten fine

I just want it before 8:40. I have to work tommorow but hopefully this snow will cancel everything :), please close, or please let me call in sick lol.

4. don't they close at 8pm EST?

but and I hesitate to say this, but usually Drudge has exit polls on his site by mid-afternoon and usually they are pretty accurate, so we might have an idea of how it is going based on those. Also, you can usually tell how it is unfolding even on the early newscasts before the polls close by how the anchors are reporting. If they are saying something like, "Kerry may be in for a big night" or "It could be a long night" then we know what the exit polls are reporting.
