North Carolina closing time has been extended by 45 minutes in a few districts because they had problems opening up on time. That means that the RESULTS will be reported a bit later than expected, but counting will start normally. NC will count LONG because it is a battleground
It will not matter to us monitoring the race, because NC would not announce its results inside the first hour anyway. If we're REALLY lucky, they might do so before midnight. But it is a battleground state, could easily go into wee hours Wednesday...

North Carolina is one of my top choices to decide this election. IF NC is called for Biden, the election is won by Biden. Trump HAS to win NC to remain viable. And Joe has had a tiny lead almost consistently in NC, plus they have a hotly contested Senator race there
My two other
My two other
My two other 'early closer' candidates are Florida and Ohio. If either of those is called to Biden, the race is over. Florida Biden has a slight lead, Ohio has been right on the dividing line. I think one of those 3 states will be called in the early hours, Florida, Ohio or NC
PS I think it VERY highly likely that Biden wins Pennsylvania BUT PA won't finish counting before Thursday, and won't be called by networks at least not before sometime Wednesday. Could go to Friday. So while Biden likely wins PA, we won't know that tonight in their early count
the other battleground states Texas, Georgia will likely not be called this night (if either goes to Biden, the race is over).
Likely Arizona goes to Biden & Iowa to Trump - and likely they will be called tonight - but of the 8, they cancel each other out, not deciding it.
