Analysts are closely watching Pennsylvania. In the past two weeks, Republicans have campaigned heavily there. From the Wall Street Journal: “Any sign of weak turnout for Mr. Obama in Philadelphia and its suburbs, or a Romney surge in the more rural states, could spell trouble in a state no Republican has carried since 1988.”

@GlobeAndrewRyan is out in Southie and reporting that 300 people remained in line when the polls closed at 8 p.m. Similar reports coming out of Dorchester. Massachusetts voting rules dictate that anyone in line when the polls close is allowed to stay and vote, no matter how long it takes. That could mean it will be awhile before we get complete results.

From the AP: “In Florida, hundreds of people remained in line waiting to cast ballots at some locations even as polls closed. Under state law, anyone already in line when the polls closed will be permitted to vote. Shortly before polls closed in Virginia, meanwhile, the Obama campaign sent out text messages saying that volunteers were needed "right now" to make sure that everyone who was still in line as polls closed got to vote.”

Social media and the vote: if you Tweeted a picture of your ballot, you may have broken the law. See this report from CNN Money.

New York -- Polls closed at 9 p.m. in New York City. People reported broken scanning machines as late as 8 p.m., where poll workers resorted to "smacking them" in an attempt to move people through by the closing of polls. Though Barack Obama clearly had a lock on New York state's electoral votes, there were local elections of importance as well. It seems New York City's Board of Elections will face much criticism in the coming week. -
SANDPOINT, Idaho -- An Associated Press story says voting in this North Idaho town went off without a hitch despite a bomb threat called in to the courthouse the day before. It stalled some poll-worker training, but police say it had nothing to do with the election -- they say a 45-year-old woman called it in to delay sentencing on a felony drug charge. How do they know? She mis-dialed and called an assisted living center. The center called the cops. -

UPDATE: Fox and MSNBC have called Wisconsin for President Obama.
Wisconsin has a tradition of being closely matched between Democrats and Republicans and boasts the most counties of any state that voted for George W. Bush in 2004, and then swapped to President Obama in 2008. -

NEW YORK -- As an example of how crowded polls were in New York City at 8 p.m., an hour before polls closed, City Councilmember Jumaane Williams tweeted this image of the "second" crowded room where Brooklyn residents were waiting to vote. City Councilmembers in New York are not up for election until next year.
