Voting time: 7:30-10:30
Last time the results were announced around 2am.
Question we need to find out: When do candidates expect that they will have a good idea whether they won or lost? Will some people be declaring victory before midnight?
We have 32 students altogether from the MJ and BJ classes. We will likely divide into 5 teams:
EARLY TEAM: report on the start of the voting. Can also include coverage from the
practice voting booth the day before. (We may consider whether this team should divide into two and also file a story on Saturday).

LATE TEAM: Close of polls at 10:30, how was the turnout, what are the early projections, is anybody already declaring victory.
NOTE: The DM lab roles can potentially be done remotely as long as you remain on a live Skype chat newsroom the whole time.
