FYI, the New Hampshire polls may stay open later than 7pm EST. Indeed, I believe some polls are already scheduled to stay open until 8. Also, state law holds that if there are still people in line when the polls are due to close, the moderator may determine who will be the last to vote, OR the moderator may ask all of those in line how much longer they'd like the poll to remain open. Democracy!

Before the votes are counted every state is already colored blue?
Shouldn't you at least pretend to be open minded and neutral?
