ELECTION NIGHT THREAD: This will be my thread for the night, starting with this great story from @katherinemiller, with its hour-by-hour accounting of what is going on tonight and when it's (likely) going to happen. buzzfeednews.com/article/kather…
And ... polls are closed in Kentucky and Indiana. 
NOTE: As happens every election, there'll be a couple polling places/counties in several states that stay open later due to issues from earlier in the day. So, check your specific county/polling place if you need to vote! For ex, Monroe County in Indiana: idsnews.com/article/2018/1…
Here's @ZoeTillman, on a new lawsuit in Georgia ... that I'm honestly not sure why it's just being filed now. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Seriously, @katherinemiller @davidmackau and @B_M_Finnigan are really great — and the show is smart and data- and people-in-the-field-heavy, not take- and pundit-heavy.

From @dominicholden, who spent some time in Rowan County when Kim Davis was causing an uproar —>
Jared Polis wins — despite an attack from Lindsey Graham this week that Polis is "Out of Touch."
Polis is the first out gay man to win a gubernatorial election.
He also, more than a dozen years ago, was the first member of Congress from outside of Ohio who I interviewed ... for Law Dork. #memories
