(Or, like, whenever they finish counting votes.) Here’s your guide to interpreting, contextualizing, and cursing out loud at the results when they start coming in at 7:30 p.m. In other news:
- Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik gave a Nazi salute at a hearing in which he is going to complain about being in solitary confinement in a three-room suite.
