LIVE BLOG: Election 2012

Follow our live blog all day for updates from around campus, including polling updates. Our news desk will be keeping the blog active throughout the day. Check us out later in the evening for election results. Follow us on Twitter @ThePittNews for more information.

Pennsylvania has become an important state in the final days of the campaign. Republicans started running ads in the Keystone State the final week of the campaign, and Romney campaigned there on Sunday. Pennsylvania historically goes blue in the election.

8 a.m. — This is the first year that students will be able to vote in the William Pitt Union, after an effort by Student Government Board to move the location for some dorm residents from Posvar Hall to the Union. The wait has been around 15 minutes.

7 a.m. — Polls are open until 8 p.m., but once people are in line, the polls will remain open until all votes are cast. Pick up today’s copy of The Pitt News for a map detailing voting locations for on-campus students.
