It's almost time. The coffee is brewing, the pizza delivery menu is at the ready, and as America votes - or tries to, broken machines permitting - we're hunkering down here at Guardian election central for an all-night blogging marathon.

As polls close at the end of what many have called the nastiest campaign in recent history, we'll bring you live results, incisive commentary, well-meaning attempts at wry humour, links from around the blogosphere, and on-the-scene updates from the key races, courtesy of the Guardian's team of correspondents, including Julian Borger, Suzanne Goldenberg, Ed Pilkington, Gary Younge and Dan Glaister.

Just as importantly, we need you: please post in the comments below, or email, with your reactions to events as they unfold, your thoughts on the campaign and its coverage. If you're in the US, keep us posted on what's happening in your area. Actually, what the hell: tell us what's happening in your area even if you're not in the US - because when we say "we", quite frankly, I mean me, making my 19th cup of coffee at Guardian Towers at 5am in the morning. I'll need your help to make it through the night.
