In order to free up Open Mike and Daily Review for other conversations we are asking that all discussion, posting of links etc on the US election go in this daily dedicated thread rather than OM or DR.
The usual rules of good behaviour apply (see the Policy).
There will continue to be author-written posts on the US election as well, usual rules apply there too.

Polling in the Eastern states will start to close by 1pm NZT and projections will begin.
Polls in the West will close by 5pm (7pm in Alaska which shouldn’t affect the result). This is the earliest time that the election can be called, and traditionally media wait until then, but the Guardian is suggesting results are likely to be around 6pm NZT.
