Huge controversy in the Romney press centre: they have closed down the buffet. At 7pm. Hacks who paid $1k for tickets and arrived late LIVIDby Guy Adams via twitter 11/7/2012 12:16:51 AM

The Independent's Nikhil Kumar...
ABC analysis of early voting gives Obama the edge in ballots cast in advance of election day - but he is projected to be far behind in that metric than what he notched up in 2008. So up, but not by as much as he was four years ago.

Some have called this the one state election. That one state is Ohio, and the polls will be closing there in less than 10 minutes. Romney will be paying close attention, no Republican has ever taken the White House without taking this particular state and it's 18 electoral votes.

The Independent's US Editor David Usborne...
Never mind the anxiety of the candidates, reporters at Barack Obama victory headquarters having conniptions as internet goes in and out. With deadlines passing every minute, it is their worst nightmare. And some paid over $500 for privilege of being here.
