solarbirdAll markets crashing - yes, this is a literal, real crash - Dow, NASDAQ, S&P 500. Vote in progress, but it looks like it's losing. It's being held open as the leadership try to change votes, but it's not working.
eta: Dow down 660+, bouncing, crazy 100-point-plus swings... voting apparently continues to be held open as the tallies are still changing long after the 5-minute voting period... they've strongarmed two people over from "Nay" to "Yea" in the last couple of minutes... eta2: Dow down now only 500-ish points... eta3: Only 400 points... gotd dammit you can make a lot of money here if you're a particularly quick day-trader...
