Election Eve

Just a heads up that FedBlog will be updating as the results come in from the polls tomorrow night, but as ya'll go to the polls tomorrow, we want to hear from you about what you're seeing and experiencing. Are the lines long? Are you getting enough time off to go vote? Keep us updated!

But until then, here's a roundup of pre-election tidbits:

-Our GovExec.com reader poll has been showing leads between 7 and 8 percent for Sen. Barack Obama since we posted it last Thursday, and the debate in comments is getting feisty. NTEU wants to know when you're planning on casting your ballot, and there's still time to get your votes in for both (very unscientific) polls.

-The Office of Personnel Management is shipping out 660 election observers to 11 states, where they'll focus on helping folks who need a hand navigating the polls due to language issues. The languages the observers are ready to assist in include Mandarin and Cantonese, Choctaw, Hopi, Keresan, Navajo, Spanish, Towa, and Vietnamese. Maybe State and DoD should be trying to close their language gaps by looking to OPM? Just a silly thought.

-As my colleague Brittany Ballenstedt is reporting today, the agency won't be giving feds an extra two hours off to vote. So get to the polls early, folks! This blogger will be there with a cup of coffee and a big yawn when the polls open.

And do remember to check back in tomorrow: as the song lyrics go, we'll be open all night.
