In a separate post, does anyone know about this woman [link] Robin Laverne Wilson, who is running for Senator in New York State? I am thinking about voting for her, because Chuck Schumer is most likely a shoe in.

Sound like a rubbish start, msbelle. Here's hoping all goes well for your dad.
I hate to put a damper on things, but please don't start counting your presidents before they are elected. The last British General Election and (particularly) the Brexit Referendum have made me extremely wary. Now, I would rather prepare for the worst and be pleasantly surprised than expect everything to be fine and suffer a cruel awakening the morning after.
Edit: my point being that not a single advance poll for either predicted the actual results.
I voted for Schumer, Sophia, sorry!
From what I understand the polling on Brexit indicated that it was likely to pass, but nobody believed it. At least the polling points to a Hillary win. Not that I will be breathing easy until it's over.
Fiona, there's a lot of messages going out not to count on anything, to get out there and vote, so hopefully we won't have the surprise you did. I hope.
Otherwise, tomorrow morning may start of like msbelle's.

As I recall almost everyone predicted Remain winning, though by increasingly narrow margins. But you may be right, to be honest I have tried to purge most of late June from my memory.
I currently have no work to do. So I'm just twiddling my thumbs waiting for election news this evening.
I'd take a nap but I'm too stressed.
~ma for your dad, msbelle, and sympathies for the morning.
I'm off social media for most of the day--as on other occasions, you guys are my information source. If it's bad news, here there'll be blunted shock and sympathy, and if it's good, there'll be unfettered celebration. No place I'd rather spend the day, no folks I'd rather be among.
Did I say? We dropped off our ballots last week, and avoided any lines.
Surgery~ma for your dad, msbelle. I hope your day improves.
I actually did not vote for my local open positions (city council members, city clerk, and city treasurer) because they were uncontested races and I don't know anything at all about the candidates, so whatevs.
Also didn't vote on whether adult films' condom requirements, because why the hell is that a Proposition and not some regulatory offices whaddayacallit?
