13 hours that could change history, the polls in PA open from 7am until 8pm.  Do you know where your polling place is? Is the state ready for tomorrow?

The state says that they are ready to go and in spite of the hurricane last week, all PA polling places will be up and running in their normal locations with exception of one well to the east of us in Bucks County.

 "If you don't vote than I feel like you shouldn't complain", said voter Lisa Burhannan.

Monday night, both sides were working hard to make sure you get to the polls.

Dave Fillman, Executive Director of AFSCME Council 13 says Tuesday's election is crucial in PA, "Turnout is going to be absolutely critical, PA has been a blue state for last 20 some years."

Pennsylvania has an easy to use website to show you in just a few steps where you need to go to vote.  Remember even though you will be asked to show one, you do not have to have an ID to vote.

Senator Bob Casey won his seat in '06, but lost every county in Central PA except for Dauphin to Rick Santorum, Casey was campaigning in Harrisburg Monday and said he thinks thinks it may be different this time because in '06 there wasn't a Presidential Election.  "The one big difference will be turn out.  A lot more people will vote so that might change the dynamic a little bit."

We spoke with the Department of State, if you get to the polls Tuesday and there is a problem, don't leave, you can cast a provisional ballot.  Then on Wednesday call your county Board of Elections to find out the status of your ballot to make sure that your voice is being heard.
