I refuse to watch cable news, don’t have regular tv, and not a fan of visual media for news anyways. I would love something like a Lemmy/reddit mega thread where I can refresh and get up to the minute updates, but from professional news/journalists. But without the faux drama reality tv stuff that the cable news networks always do. I also love podcasts so if there’s a listening medium that isn’t overly dramatic that works too. Any suggestions?
Your state likely has a web page designated for election results, so you could get information straight from the source for everything you voted for in your state and see which way your state goes for the presidential election. Your county website may also have a page to show whether any propositions were accepted or rejected.
I’m not sure about a better source to see where all 50 states’ results are reported. Maybe Balllotpedia has something that updates. I’m not sure the federal government would have something because the official results won’t happen until January 6 when a joint session of Congress reads and counts the votes from the Electoral College (who doesn’t vote until December 17).

Just drink alcohol in the basement alone and check the internet in a week.

Stay offline entirely, and read the result in a printed newspaper the next day
It’ll be more than a day. Expect a week and be pleasantly surprised by 5 days.
I’m sorry to inform you, but Burgerland is not technologically advanced enough to tally the results in a day.
Open your neobroker app, if Trump won, the market will crash before it made the news.
Jane Street Capital lost like $100m 8 years ago assuming this would happen and it didn’t.
Depending on which bit of the market you look at I suspect it could also go up.
all of our media is controlled by capitalists so i plan on going with organizations that have had a reliable history; like democracynow or npr.
i plan to just find out when someone on lemmy mentions it in passing
Unless I take the extreme measure of touching grass, social media will keep me apprised unbidden.

Hasan Poker ain’t for everyone but he’s super knowledgeable and provides great context for ongoing issues. I mainly watch on YouTube so the clips are edited down and even more context (charts, sources, etc) are added.
lol yeah I'm really having trouble finding any information about this it's a real blackout
My less facetious answer is Wikipedia
Maybe good ol newspapers or eventually check if the federal government has an official result page
The federal government doesn’t run the elections so you’d have to check the 51 Secretary of State (or equivalent) sites to actually get live results.
For just the results. Decision Desk HQ gets updated quickly, as they provide data to media outlets and others. I don’t think they require a subscription just for results. The AP does the same and generally “calls” states anyway. (As in, the networks will call the results when the AP does, though some have extra requirements like their own data team agreeing.)
