(From the diaries -- kos
This Roundup Diary covers the period from 1:00 PM Sunday, 11/5 to 1:00 PM EST Monday, 11/6.
Important Note, re: Tuesday's Diary - Tuesday's ERR diary will not be promoted to the front page (for reasons that are obvious and make perfect sense). We will, however, continue to produce a diary for that day as well as at least a few days after the election.
While it's hard to know exactly what time we'll be going up on Tuesday, if you don't want to miss the roundup of the many fine diaries that are sure to go up on Election Day, I'd suggest subscribing, if you haven't already done so. Thanks for reading.
