the polls officially close there, which would be Friday. And given the circumstances, exit polling might be highly unreliable, I don't know. Perhaps it will be almost impossible to know just how many votes are out there until Friday.

They might as well count it. Obama will not lose NJ.

My son is still waiting to get his emailed ballot. He sent in an absentee ballot weeks ago. After a constant runaround they admitted they had received it. They claimed to have mailed him a ballot. He never received it and called again. They told him to call back. Then came the hurricane. He called again and they claimed they would express mail his ballot. Again he did not receive it. They put him in the displaced voters bunch and told him they will email him a ballot. He is still waiting but they claim he will be allowed to vote until Friday. The ACLU is now involved.
