The Swingstate Project has an interesting Nov. 4, 2008 Poll Closing Times & Key Races map up, which is nicely done, but a bit confusing. For those of us who want to only watch the topline race of the night, the Presidential Electoral Votes, I have taken their data and reformatted it into another map series shown below.
