Interestingly, it has a lot to do with the railroad. North-South access between the two regions within the Dakota Territory ran along the Minnesota border, or Montana. This made the two proposed capitals - Bismark and Pierre - very isolated. It also produced some resentment in the more-populated South when the capital of the whole territory was placed in Bismark, in the North. By admission into statehood, the residents were fairly adamant that they were distinct communities.
At least one county in PA has extended poll closing times to 10pm due to a software issue, and another extended to 9:30pm because the election officials opened the polls late...

If the polls close and you're in line, they have to let you vote

Some Georgia polling places are going to be open til 8. They had some bomb threats (everything's ok), so check your polling place!!!

Voting will keep going till there isn't anyone in line.

STAY IN LINE. If you’re in line when the polls “close” you are legally permitted to vote. DO NOT LET THEM DENY YOUR VOICE.

Indiana has fallen. NBC called the state for Trump.

Louisville and Lexington do exist. We managed to get ourselves a democratic governor at least.

Hi welcome to Kentucky. We at least have horses.

Not worth it

And good alcohol, which I would likely need if I lived there.

I honestly didn't know the polls closing at 6 wasn't the norm until today.
MrNardtastic
Better hope you're not in a dry county lol.

Dry counties? Could KY be any worse? We have drive-thru 24hr liqueur stores here...
LightDireWolfen
The dry counties are the counties where the bourbon distilleries are located. I'm not kidding. There has to be a hilarious reason for that.
