...North Carolina: A Red or Blue Morning, 7:30 a.m. E.T. With polls opening at 6:30 a.m., a line had already spilled out into the parking lot at 6:00. Some stood silently, dressed to go to work, while others came in groups with young children and appeared to have just rolled out of bed.

This is a big event in North Carolina. Anxious supporters...

Tangled in Red-Tape in Indiana, 12:00 p.m. E.T. For days, the 20-something black man heard friends complain about long lines at so-called satellite early voting stations here in crumbling Gary, Indiana. So he rose before dawn today, put on his baggy jeans and white leather jacket, and showed up at the Gary Christian Center for Youth, on Broadway Street, one of this city's main boulevards. "I was thinking I'd be able to get in and out of here at a decent hour," said the man, who declined to give his name...
