Where to tune in on election night
Where to tune in on election night
At least 20 television networks will be providing live coverage of Tuesday's presidential election results. ABC News, the Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News will be projecting the winner in each state based in part on exit poll data collected by Edison Media Research and Mitofsky International for the National Election Pool. Each news organization has its own decision desk that will independently analyze the exit poll results, turnout information and actual vote tabulation to call a state for either candidate. No projections will be made before the polls have closed in a particular state.
