The Super Bowl and new Apple products have nothing on a new President. I think if Twitter can clear that moment, all concerns about their hardware and engineering can be put to rest. As far as Vote Report goes, though, I wonder if there will be any single moment when usage will crush the system. Many in Bloomington (some 30K?) have already voted early, and everyone else will be going to the polls at different times. My family is going to try to go first thing in the morning, but I don't know what kind of lines I'm expecting. By the time the real danger (announcement of a winner) comes around, Vote Report will have already done their thing.

I suspect Twitter will be up and down all day giving it some sporadic results. The phone calls will still come in even if Twitter is down but i would guess 9 out of 10 people who would normally participate will skip it while Twitter is down. That's the curse of having a great system with not so great implementation. It will be interesting to see if Vote Report works tomorrow.
