Election Night Timeline
By Jim Dallas
This is a modified version of David Leip's Election Night Timeline, with the states colored for the time-bloc when the "last" polls in that state close. For example, Texas is in the 8 p.m. block because polls do not close in El Paso until 7 Mountain Time. Also the times have been adjusted to Central Time for you Texas poll watchers.
I also added how many electoral votes are contained in each time block. In theory, we could know who won as early as 7 p.m. Central Time.

In the comments, I am informed that CNN has a similar and slightly different (probably more accurate) map. But mine has prettier colors!

Interesting. Not a 100% match with CNNs, though.
