Pre-Election Wrapup Roundup

We've been working hard all day to bring you the scene at the polls, but a bit before 7 p.m., we'll switch into Election Night mode with a special emphasis on local results. Check back often for the latest updates on not only the epic Obama v. McCain battle, but also the outcome on the state and county charter amendments, as well as, and most important, the fate of the Diaz-Balart dynasty.

In the meantime, here's a wrapup of all the latest Election Day buzz you might have missed while waiting in line.
