7 p.m. EST. Polls close in Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Vermont, and Virginia.

THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

PART of the polls close in Florida at 7 PM EST, but part are open to 8 PM EST (panhandle).

We need to call the networks and make sure that they don't try to sway the election by calling it at 7 PM.

That is exactly what they did in 2000.

This is true. Florida now has universal closing time for the whole state. 7:00pm EST.

Quite a few states are like this. The far western part of Kansas is in Mountain time. Of course, the 17 people who live there are fairly solidly Bush, so it won't make a huge difference like the Florida panhandle will. :-)
