I am tired of having to listen to all the side theories of every major news outlet and their interpretations of the votes as they come in. Is there anyone better than another to get more solid info and less bullshit?
Apple News if you have an iPhone or Apple device. They just show a live activity and that is it.
You can try The Free Press their coverage starts at 7pm Eastern tomorrow.

Most places will have trustworthy polling data. Even FOX doesn’t mess with the results night of since it’s kinda hard to deny reality hard enough to overshadow the live numbers.
Politico has a map and score that get updated https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/
Besides pbs Probably ProPublica
C-Span will have election night coverage:

No. There is no such thing as unbiased information. Even the numbers are gathered by a certain methodology which will have bias if not explicitly political then towards the faith in that methodology.
Counting and addition a methodology?
The only thing might be the “red mirage / blue wave” from 2020 caused by the fact Trump told his followers to only vote in person and the Dems told people to vote by mail as there was a pandemic going on. This caused the mail in ballots to be predominantly dem and the in-person ballots to be predominantly rep. The mail in ballots in some states can only be counted after the polls close… creating the illusion of impropriety if you don’t understand what’s going on. Trump and his team pushed on this specifically to their uninformed voter base.
Bro they all rely on the same API and they don’t get interpret by anyone. Shure there are some dodgy sites that make shit up but the major news outlets don’t.
The number of votes that each candidate gets is unbiased information. It is determined by using addition to count them, which is also an unbiased methodology.

sorry for long link
PBS will have live coverage. Also available streaming.
Nice to point out a public service, as their less likely to act in favor of whatever gets a sponsorship (even though they still do sponsors/ads to a degree)
This show was brought to you by viewers like you.
You’re welcome.
No. That isn’t how elections work. Only once polling places close will the totals begin and only on a state by state basis will the totally tally’s be known.
Your going to have to wait about a week to know.
Likely longer as the “stop the steal” nonsense lawsuits start rolling through
In terms of unbiased and factual numbers about the electoral college that isn’t part of the reporting. I like the minute to minute reporting as much as most other people. It’s just not relevant for the process.
County by county
Won’t stop Trump from declaring victory at noon, and have his shoving some hack, crayon transition plan at any doting media outlets that will take them, because if he can get even the most ridiculous challenge to the SCOTUS, that’s the ball game. They’ve grown far bolder at flexing their power for the wealth class than even 2000.
The question will be how much the media indulges his clear, intentional deception as the “candidate claims victory, stay tuned for further details.”
Nothing ever stops him from making a fool of himself. We’d all be a lot better off if everyone ignored him. We would have avoided 2016 entirely if news channels had treated him like the joke he is, instead of pouncing on his every word.

I’ll probably be watching Breaking Points on Youtube. The hosts aren’t unbiased, but they don’t pretend to not be and provide a good balance overall.
Not being a dick but how are the election result reporting not unbiased? They’re all using the exact same API so the numbers shouldn’t deviate as long as they’re all in sync. I’m sure as shit not tuning into a network news station so sorry for the ignorance.
This is all I need, Thanks for not being a dick.
Thanks for the link. This has just what I was looking for, even county level. The only thing I don’t know yet is how well it updates, that was an issue in the past between different interfaces and their refreshing. But that was a different internet too.
Good lord that was midleading for a second.
If you click a state, you can see the states individual results. In my case Ohio. So even though the counting hasn’t started, I could see Kamala Harris, and 3 independant nominees. It did NOT show trump.
I was thinking “wait, is he somehow disqualified from running in Ohio??? Is that why he’s been pissy about Ohio??? You’d think this would have been well talked about news!!!”
Nope. None of that. There’d just a push button expanding page. Why would you use an expanding page when there’s only 5 items on the list??? And if you ARE going to cut off one candidate in the expanding list, why not one of the three independants who may as well all be named “Why bother???”.
But then you expant the list, and trump is number 5 in the presidential race in Ohio…with all 5 sitting at 0%.
Of note, Kamala is #2.
I read this and was like “10 bucks says it’s just alphabetical” and, lo and behold, it’s just alphabetical. How is that not the obvious answer?
They haven’t even started counting yet.
You need to take a fucking chill pill, my man.
An incapacity for intellectual self-defense leads to omnipresent failures to understand how literally anything works, hence everything is a conspiracy.
Constantly overwhelmed by the most minute requirements to apply basic logic, the boogeyman is everywhere and thus must be nipping at their heels. Of course!
The terror of the constantly incomprehensible, the unreflected-upon frustrations about their own ineptitude, and the mockery meted out by those around them who aren’t so fucking stupid form and perpetuate a pathological identity which allows itself to be fueled only by further hate and division. Everything that challenges this identity model is the enemy. It cannot be reasoned with by neither logic nor love or empathy.
It’s tragic, but also fucking embarrassing.
Lol why wouldn’t they just show both years on this demographic? What’s the point of have the api for the live streaming data in the text but not in the graphic? To quote the retired NoSho league MVP Shoarsie, “Sodumb.”
Edit: OH FUUUUUUUUUUUCK ^IM ^THE ^ONE ^WHO ^IS ^SODUMB, ^I ^SEE ^IT ^NOW
Can I directly use the API myself?
Here’s the API dev site
Neat. Thanks!
You can look up some exit polls but they might also not be fully accurate but give a good picture of what’ll happen. The only accurate way to get the result is to wait for the electoral committee to cunt the vote, especially in an election this tiiiiiiigtt.
GroundNews does breakdowns of the range of treatments of the same events being reported on throughout the various major news companies across the political spectrum
