Prophecy

On MSNBC earlier today, Chris Jansing posed a question to Ann Jacobs, chair of the Wisconsin Elections Commission: “When will we know the results, and will it be on election night?”

I always dislike it when newspeople ask their guests to prophesy. But Jacobs gave a considered answer: “It will be very early in the morning on November 6th. If past is prologue, it’ll be somewhere around 2:30 or 3:30 in the morning.”
