PROVIDENCE -- The basement in the state's Board of Elections office is buzzing with anticipation as the first precincts will begin reporting in about half an hour.

Already, about 30 people -- local media, campaign workers, Board of Elections staff -- are in the basement where the votes will be tabulated.

Members of the media are already gathering around five television screens which will post the election results in real-time as they are received from the precincts. Two television cameras are already in place.

There's a variety of people gathered -- some in suits, others more casually dressed in baseball caps. And there's a state trooper standing guard.
