Welcome to our live blog for the 2012 election. We’ll keep this updated through the evening with results and reactions.
The polls have already closed in some states and are about to close in others, but we’ll make the bold move of calling the election…for the Federal Reserve. Thanks for joining us! (Just kidding.)
As I’m in Colorado, I have a special interest in some local races, particularly the vote on Amendment 64, which would legalize the cultivation, sale, and use of marijuana for adults 21 and older. Similar measures exist on the ballots in Washington state and Oregon. Any one of them passing would be a significant repudiation by voters of the horrific, wasteful, tyrannical war on drugs.
Currently CNN is calling Indiana, West Virginia, and Kentucky for Mitt Romney, while President Barack Obama appears to have Vermont locked up. Ohio, Virginia, and North Carolina are too close to call. Aren’t you excited? I’m excited, and I haven’t even started drinking yet! Stay tuned. (All times MST.)
