2008 US Election Resources


Here’s where I’m going to be getting election information from:

  • BBC News election map — the proportional map is quite cool. It resizes states according to how many electoral votes they have, so you can see at a glance how well each candidate is doing without being skewed by places like Montana.
  • CNN “Your Races” tracker — I’ve chosen to track presidential results in Alabama, Hawaii, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia; Senate races in Alaska (Begich vs. Stevens) and Minnesota (Franken vs. Coleman); House races in Hawaii 01 (Abercrombie vs. Tataii) and Hawaii 02 (Hirono vs. Evans); California Proposition 8 (ban gay marriage); and Colorado Amendment 48 (human life from moment of conception).
  • Twitter — most of the people I’m following are watching election results around the world, so their insight will be interesting.

I’ll probably be watching TV as well, but I’m undecided as to which channel. Probably CNN with occasional jaunts to MSNBC.

What other resources are you watching?
