Ah, hell, in contrast to the earlier primaries I won't stay awake that long tonight.

So far, we had either caucuses/coventions finishing pretty "early" or primaries taking place in the Eastern time zone. But PST closing times are a bit too much for me.

I will know the result next day then.

Glad that Alaskan Democrats aren't going to make us wait until the wee hours of the morning for some Barack Obama landsliding.

I can understand asking for GMT, but you can't add three?

Anyone know why West Virginia closes at 2 PM (their time)?  Is this to ensure that no one with a job or in school can vote?

It's a convention. They already had their GOP caucus.

They have a convention which will elect delegates today.  They don't have a traditional primary or a caucus.

BTW, West Virginia is in the Eastern Time Zone.

Yes, that is why I offset the time by 3 hrs.

Oh Ok, you were basing it off the Pacific Time Zone.  I get it.
