Your 'Newsdesk' election crew will be hard at work all day Tuesday Credit: photo by Richard Whittaker

Wow, it’s so eerie today. After months of reporting, writing, and blogging furiously leading up to this election, constantly trying to stay ahead of the curve, today nothing is happening. It really does feel like that calm before a hurricane hits. There’s even no wind outside, and my home office is completely quiet.

Perhaps now that I’ve said that, all hell will break loose, but I doubt it. I’m using today to clean out my e-mail folder, clean up my desk, and make preparations for tomorrow.

At 7am, when the polls open, I and other Austin Chronicle/Newsdesk reporters will hit the ground running to keep you informed on breaking news. After 7pm, when the polls close, we will begin reporting results and all the action from the big election parties.

If you’ll be perched in front of a computer tomorrow, please go to our Election Central and keep hitting refresh. We’ll have coverage of everything from President down to the county offices and city and school district propositions. Even “Hail to the Hustle” will be out there, um, hustling.
