We already asked you to send in your election day photos — doesn’t have to be something historic or anyone famous. We want slices of life from election day. What it looked like at your precinct station? Mini-rallies, etc. But far more important than that, we want your news tips. Just tell us what you’re seeing. Every tip helps. It truly does. What’s turnout look like? Any voting station problems? Any local press reports you think we should know about? (Those can be key.) Are you seeing or hearing any last minute ads?

Anything surprise you? Anything out of the ordinary? We want to know it all.
