Three Ways the Election Might Not End on November 6

Please, God, no.

For those who like it short and sweet, those reasons are recounts, provisional ballots, and a potential electoral college tie.

One of my earliest political memories was watching the agonizing Florida recount of 2000. (The very first was stumbling across a story about Bill Clinton's dalliance with Monica Lewinsky a few years prior. I know, gross.) So goodness, I hope we don't have another doozy like that.
