Poll Closing Times

Now that we're close to the actual election, here's the list of the poll closing times so we can keep tabs on which states are next. All times are EST:

7:00 PM EST
Georgia
Kentucky
Indiana
South Carolina
Vermont
Virginia

7:30 PM EST
North Carolina
Ohio
West Virginia

8:00 PM EST
Alabama
Connecticut
Deleware
Florida
Illinois
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Mississippi
Missouri
New Hampshire
New Jersey
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Tennessee
Washington DC

8:30 PM EST
Arkansas

9:00 PM EST
Arizona
Colorado
Louisiana
Michigan
Minnesota
Nebraska
New Mexico
New York
South Dakota
Texas
Wisconsin
Wyoming

10:00 PM EST
Kansas
Montana
Nevada
Utah

11:00 PM EST
California
Hawaii
Idaho
North Dakota
Oregon
Washington

01:00 AM EST
Alaska

One minor note. Several states (Florida, Michigan, etc.) cover two time zones and will have polls closing at different times. Rather than posting two different times, I've listed the later poll closing times since the media will not call a state until all polls are closed. So, even if it's well known that Mr. Obama has won Michigan a little after 8:00 PM EST, they won't call the state until the polls are closed on the UP at 9:00 PM EST.
