2008 Poll Closing Times

Back by popular demand, here are the poll closure times for Tuesday, November 4th 2008.  And of course, some state’s have varying closure times, think Florida folks, due to having state boundaries that straddle time zones, or other local factors.  You know, we wonder if voters will be thinking about Mickey Gilley as they go into the voting booth:

The candidates all get prettier at voting time
They all begin to look like movie stars
The candidates all get prettier at voting time
When the change starts taking place
It puts a glow on every face
Of the falling angels from the campaign trail
