Real Time Election Results

By Jeralyn

I'll be bumping this to the top periodically all night. It's a widget and will update automatically. Click on the "President" link for live vote tallies.

Update 8:11 pm: Indiana looks bad for McCain. He's underperforming Bush's 2004 numbers in the red counties. CBS has called NH for Obama. Early Ohio numbers are looking good for Obama.

Update 8:00 pm: 15 states just closed. 8 states to Obama. Mass., Illiniois, CT, NJ, Delaware, Maryland, Maine and the District of Columbia. McCain gets Oklahoma and Tennessee. FL, PA and Missouri are too close to call. McCain is far behind Bush in the red counties in the middle. Looks to me like Obama will take Florida easily.

Update 7:50 pm: CBS calls South Carolina and W. Va. for McCain. CBS election results are here. CNN also calls S.C. for McCain. Obama is ahead in NC and in Miami-Dade County in Florida. See the county map.

Update 7:30pm: Polls just closed in Ohio, NC and W. Va. Not enough info to call them yet. Obama is ahead right now in Florida. Georgia results are here. [More...]

Virginia results are here. Only two southern rural counties are in which McCain is winning. Indiana results are here. Obama could take it. He's running strong in the red counties, the blue ones aren't in yet.

Update 7:20 pm: Grant Park in Chicago is filling up for the Obama event later tonight. A million people are expected. CNN is doing hologramming, bringing their reporters into the CNN Election Center. Jessica Yellin is there now, 35 cameras are shooting her body at different angles in Chicago and beaming her into the set in New York. It's very strange but very cool.

Update 7:03 pm: CNN calls Vermont for Obama, Kentucky for McCain.

Update 6:51 pm: GA, IN, KY, SC, VT and VA will close in at 7pm ET. NC closes at 7:30 pm.

Update 6:30pm: Kentucky results here. Indiana results are here. Obama is ahead in Indiana, but it's closing. McCain is ahead in Kentucky. It's still very, very early.
