It’s going to be a nail biter tomorrow — the latest polls show the presidential race in a dead heat.

With that in mind, the Associated Press has put together a helpful guide to what to watch for, hour by hour, on election day. Here are a few excerpts, all times converted to Hawaii time:

– 2 p.m.: Polls close in six states but all eyes will be on Virginia, the first of the battleground states to begin reporting results. If either candidate is comfortably ahead in Virginia, with 13 electoral votes, that could be a leading indicator of which way the night is going.

– 2:30 p.m.: Polls close in three states, including all-important Ohio (18 electoral votes) and competitive North Carolina (15).

If Ohio is particularly close, and polls suggest it might be, there’s a chance the outcome there won’t be known until after Election Day, and the presidency could hinge on it. 

— 5 p.m.: Polls close in four states, including the last of the battlegrounds, Iowa (six) and Nevada (six).

Wait, there’s more! We haven’t even gotten to Hawaii polls closing…Read the full story.
