Although polls close in Georgia at 7 p.m., polls in California don't close at 11 p.m. (EST). It's bound to be a long night.

As Michigan's polls close, the swing states of Florida, Pennsylvania and New Hampshire close their …
Some think celebrities are treated differently when they vote, what do you think?
