Note: We'll be listing the winners up here at the top, scroll down for live updates and commentary.
President & Vice President: As of about 8:25 p.m. PST Barack Obama has been re-elected President of the United States.
District 9 Supervisor: David Campos (unopposed incumbent)
District 11 Supervisor: John Avalos (unopposed incumbent)

The polls don't close in California until 8 p.m., but our pals at DCist are keeping an eye on all your General Election news. Meanwhile, we'll be updating live with all the state, local and relevant presidential election updates as we get them. Feel free to root for your favorite supervisor candidate or state proposition in the comments. Color commentary from your SFist editors is, as always, provided free of charge.

6:25 p.m. DCist reports that the Associated Press has Romney and Obama in a dead heat for electoral college votes 152-152 over the President. Oof. This could be a long night.

Meanwhile, closer to home, we can't officially call anything yet because the polls are still open but barring any unforeseen voting machine tampering or social media write-in campaigns, David Campos will still be your District 9 Supervisor. John Avalos, also running as an unopposed incumbent, will continue to rule District 11 with a progressive fist. Feel free to let us know what hilarious write-in votes you came up with, D9 and D11 voters.

7:10 p.m. We're taking impromptu and completely unscientific exit polls in the heated District Five Supervisor race. (We're pestering everyone with an "I Voted!" sticker who walks by the SFist Western Branch Office on Divisadero Street, basically.) Exit polls are so far inconclusive, but anecdotal evidence suggests some people don't really care about Julian Davis' handsy past.

On the national scope, CNN is calling Pennsylvania for Obama, which is a big win for the President. Although Associated Press still has Obama and Romney neck-and-neck in electoral college votes, CNN wants to keep up some suspense and is currently predicting 158 electoral votes for Romney and 147 for Obama.

7:15 p.m. We just heard Massachusetts voters approved a ballot measure to legalize medical marijuana. Welcome to the club, stoned Bostonians!

7:40 p.m. The California polls close in 20 minutes, folks. If you haven't voted yet, now would be a good time to get in line at your polling places.

Meanwhile in Wisconsin, Tammy Baldwin defeated former Governor Tommy Thompson to become the first openly gay member of the U.S. Senate. (Nobody counts Larry Craig, apparently.) DCist has more.

8 p.m. Right on schedule, CNN is already calling California (and our 55 electoral college votes) for Obama. That puts the President at 249, with 270 needed to win.

We're still waiting on the S.F. Department of Elections to release their first set of results at 8:45 p.m. In the meantime, here's a look inside the (not candidate-affiliated) Election Night party at the Independent on Divisadero, where the line is literally around the block. SFist predicts some locals will be experiencing election night hangovers tomorrow:

8:25 p.m. CNN, Fox News and every other network has called the presidential race for Obama. Florida and Virginia are still too close to call and Mitt Romney currently leads the popular vote. Anyhow, Gavin Newsom is stoked!


Local Republicans, meanwhile, are not so excited:


9 p.m. With our first round of local results reported (only absentee and early ballots at this point) London Breed has a slight lead in District 5, with Christina Olague and Julian Davis trailing. Breed doesn't have a majority of the votes though, so those could easily get shuffled around once Ranked Choice Voting kicks in.

In District 1, Eric Mar has a slight lead over David Lee, but again — anybody's game here.

We won't see the numbers on election day ballots until 9:30 p.m. at the earliest, so we're taking a quick smoke break.
