In exactly five weeks from the moment I'm writing this, the Pennsylvania and Florida polls will have closed, and we might know who the next POTUS will be. If either candidate succeeds in winning both of those states, we can all either start celebrating or making those grim jokes about migration to Canada that arise every four years. Even if the big one is decided early, though, we won't know the outcome of Prop 8 aka Armageddon in California until late - probably really, really late on the East Coast.
So, if you, like me, are planning on spending election night with friends, I invite you to help come up with some creative party games befitting the occasion, to while away the hours before California returns come in. I thought it would be fun to identify a few down-ballot races that could prove telling as possible signs of a wave. I've already posted about the South Dakota abortion referendum, and of course there are other important initiatives or referenda on the ballot in states including Florida, Arizona, and Arkansas.
