Waiting on some numbers from Georgia.
We expect them any minute.

Hey -- What do you guys do in the newsroom while waiting for results?
Andy Johns
Right now we are collecting data and feeding it to the site. The reporters are trying to pre-write as much as they can based on early returns. In many of the races the reporters write multiple stories based-on different outcomes.
It's getting busy here with Tennessee trickling in and Georgia pouring in.

No wait for me. I think I was the last voter at 7:55pm. No one else in the polling place but the workers, but they said it was the biggest turnout they've seen.

Thanks for reading. We'll take some lessons with us for the next time we do this. I think a Tennessee Vols chat may be in our future.
We'll probably try this again in a new and improvved version in March for the municipal election.
Thanks for reading and be sure to check Wednesday's TFP for full coverage.
