Here in Hawaii we’re time-zone challenged when it comes to being up to speed on what’s happening in the national elections. Polls in key battleground states will begin closing — and results starting to come in — about 7 p.m. on the East Coast. That’s 2 p.m. here.

But if you’re a true political junkie and want to follow important races throughout the day, here’s a link to the Washington Post’s live coverage site that promises to have breaking news and the latest political analysis as soon as it happens.

And here’s Huffington Post’s live election updates. This morning, Hawaii was at the top of the column. Check out their list of latest Hawaii polls. 

Meanwhile, please make it a priority to get out and vote today. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Don’t know where to go? Here’s how to find your polling place.

State offices, schools and the universities are closed because Election Day is a state holiday. So no excuses, OK?
