So now's the time to tell us who you think will wind up with the most electoral votes on Tuesday (or Wednesday or when the Supreme Court or Congress hears it).

Jump into the comments and let us know how you think the race will pan out. Remember - 270 to win. If you'd like to give your over/under on the Senate and Congressional races as well, feel free.

Does your state have early voting? Share your experiences. Have fun with it and be nice. Its almost over...

Here's some links to the more popular electoral college maps to give you a start:
