Who? Us? Live blog?

You might ask yourself why we here at Inside Scoop would dedicate a crack team to live blogging Election Day today.

Well, we're not.

Nope, the live blogging won't start until sometime in the early afternoon (whenever I haul my lazy rear into the office) and will be done by the same irascible so-and-sos who usually write the government news for us. The crack team is off elsewhere.

We'll eventually set up shop at the commissioner's meeting room at the Old County courthouse tonight, although the crowd will probably be a bit limited there. Topics will include state legislative races, the fightin’ U.S. 13th and local elections.

I have no idea what this is going to look like...we've not live-blogged much before and there's still the small matter of putting out tomorrow's newspaper. But what's the worse that can happen, giving a hand-full of caffeine fueled, stressed out reporters with a penchant for being smart Alecs on deadline a direct pipeline to the outside world?

We'll see you back here this afternoon, probably three-ish. In the mean time, drop us a line in the comments section below if you have some Election Day trivia (or even news) for us.
