This year isn't likely to be so smooth. Polls now show Mr. Obama running neck and neck nationally against Mitt Romney. The race is just as tight in nearly all the battleground states. Unless the big East Coast states tip early for Mr. Obama, the night is bound to be long. (You can watch WSJ.com's election night show. Details here.)
今年的大选夜可能不会这么顺利。目前的民调显示奥巴马在全美范围内和罗姆尼斗得难分高下。在几乎所有的摇摆州,选情都很紧张。除非东海岸几个大州尽早倒向奥巴马,否则这个大选夜注定将会非常漫长。
Here's what to look for as the evening progresses:
以下是大选夜各个时段需要关注的问题:
7 to 7:30 p.m. Eastern
美东时间7点至7点30分
Returns will begin to roll in pretty quickly from the big states along the Eastern seaboard as soon as the first precincts close, though polling stations in some Florida counties in the Panhandle won’t close until 8 p.m.
头一批选区一旦结束投票,东海岸几个大州的统计结果将会很快陆续出炉。但佛罗里达州西北部狭长地带部分县的投票站要到晚上8点才会关闭。
This early block of swing states - Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire and Ohio - are all but certain to be the big deciders. If Florida looks to be tipping for Mr. Obama, that could suggest an early night. A Romney loss in the Sunshine State could effectively block his path to 270 Electoral votes.
