I thought I would open a generic thread to talk about the election as its less than a week away and discuss the result.
So latest news, polls, tweets etc
US election day and night: timeline
00:01 ET (05:01 GMT)
The first results are announced - possibly in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire
06:00 ET (11:00 GMT)
Polling stations open in east coast states and election day proper underway
TBC:
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton cast their votes, most likely in New York
19:00 ET (00:00 GMT)
Polling stations start to close and first state projections made based on exit polls
23:00 ET (04:00 GMT)
Earliest possible time the election will be "called" for either candidate by US TV networks
TBC:
Victory or concession speeches from both Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump
------------------------------------
The magic number is
270 electoral college votes - each state, plus Washington DC, is awarded a certain number of electoral votes based roughly on size.
When the winner is beyond doubt, the losing candidate calls the winner to concede. Both Mrs Clinton and Mr Trump will give a speech: one to claim victory and the other admit defeat. But there is always the possibility - as happened in 2000 - that at the end of Election Day we may still not know who has won.
