The National Journal opened its
Political Stock Exchange site this week, creating a free, play-money version of the various political market sites. New users get $10,000 in virtual money to bid on real-life options, including all Senate races, the first round of primaries, potential VP selections, and the margin of Bush's approval rating by the end of the year.

Today's Election Day in the United States. Political Wire provides a
list of all poll closing times.(The first closings will be at 6:00 PM EST)
CNN and
Fox News both have up their websites where you can start tracking all state and localized races as results come in. Exit polls are being conducted, but have been
quarantined until polls close. And if you want to put any money on this,
you're short on time. Good luck following the winners both in your state and on
MetaFilter.

Going for broke. With four days to go before the election, Bush-Cheney '04 finally pulled the last stop and started sending out anti-Kerry mailings using images of the burning World Trade Center. The ads are paid for and officially endorsed by Bush's campaign.

Florida to settle 2000 election lawsuit. Major provisions include a promise for massive reforms in voter registration, voter-roll maintenance and polling practices, as part of the lawsuit pushed by the NAACP. Granted, it's good that a large angered group is "getting over it" as many (even on this board) have still been explaining, but should skeptics (read: Democrats) such as myself read the Florida legislature's desire to settle as a sign that they may not have thought they would have won against charges of rigging the election?
