It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. And here we are on election day. In case you hadn't noticed, thank you, Captain, obvious. Many of you have already voted. If you

haven't yet in the tri-state area, the polls are open until 8 o'clock in New Jersey and Connecticut,

until 9 o'clock in New York. For those of you who will be watching or listening to election

returns tonight, our live coverage begins at 7 o'clock here on WNYC. Obviously, many TV channels have it

too. And 7 o'clock is when the polls close in the first swing state. That's Georgia,

followed closely by North Carolina, another key swing state, at 7.30. At 8 o'clock, there's

Michigan and Pennsylvania. So that's a really big hour

if they have early projections of how close the exit polls are running. At 9 o'clock, here come

Arizona and Wisconsin. The last of the swing states, Nevada, closes at 10 o'clock Eastern time,

unless you count Alaska at midnight, which I'll tell you about in a

minute. But the bottom line among the seven generally listed swing states, Georgia at 7 o'clock,

North Carolina, 730, Michigan and Pennsylvania at 8, Arizona and Wisconsin at 9, Nevada at 10.

If you want to go to the next level on this,

there are several states that are not considered swing states exactly, but not considered

completely automatic either. So here are some states to watch early on to see if a surprise

landslide or altered map might be taking shape. At 7 o'clock, the polls close in Virginia.

That's been a blue state in recent presidential elections, but it's seen as lighter blue this year.

It's actually coded in that color, lighter blue on the authoritative website 270 to win.

And Trump did campaign in Virginia on Saturday in his final

week's swing. Definitely watch Virginia starting at 7 o'clock. Another one like that is New Hampshire,

where the polls close at 8. And at 9 o'clock, New Mexico and Minnesota, light blue as well on 270 to win, but still likely for Harris,

especially Minnesota, with the state's popular governor, Tim Walls, on her ticket.
