It’s not even 5 am here in NYC and I’m up and showered and trying to get my 11 year old up so we can meet my mom and be at the polls bright and early.

I was sitting on my 90 something year old abuela’s bed last night, talking about many things including the election. My abuela, a Puerto Rican U.S. citizen looked at me and said, ” Ojala que el prieto gana” (God willing the black one will win). It’s her version of saying “that one” and while my abuela’s racial politics are questionable, at least she doesn’t want McCain to win.

VivirLatino will be covering the election all day so keep logging on to see videos, updates and reports from at least two locations in the U.S. and even a look in from Europe, cuz we be fancy like that.

In the meantime, put on your voting boots.
