Suggestions for the best place to get election results?
One I saw a site where you could indicate the races you were interested in and you'd get a customized page of just those races. I don't know remember where that was though.

Any other suggestions? where is the best site to track election results?

13. Well Then
I would suggest monitoring the Web sites of the state and local Election Supervisors. They would probably be the ones who would have the best "real time" results.

12. Your state probably has a website with results in real time....
of course, no matter where you look you won't get any "real" information until after 7:00pm or so.

Just do a Google search for your state election offices or Secretary of State office or wherever, and they may have some good info for you.

Otherwise, just look at the news sites.

CNN has a pretty decent online election results map:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2010/results/main.results

EDIT ADD: There's also this map from USA Today:

16. Oh, I see the "add this race" button - maybe this was the site I was at last time.
I like the idea of an instant glance of the races I care about.

17. Another possibility
C-SPAN has good election results both on the air and on their Web site.

20. Thanks, the CNN site seems pretty good. I hope they put enough server muscle behind it ....
... so it updates pretty quickly. I like that I can get just the races I want to follow on one page.
