I'm not. I've checked the results a couple times online, but I see no sense in watching coverage. We'll know the outcome when it's over and not a moment before.

MSNBC and AP (they have a YT stream)

Staying busy and avoiding news. It’s highly likely that it won’t be decisive, and we don’t need to feed the relentless hysterical coverage machine of media corporations.

I'm just going to watch memes and shitposts here on Lemmy

Some More News livestream after ingesting 10 mg of cannabis

From the safety of my bunker.

I have vague plans to goon for 16 hours

The republicans we know said today to expect trouble and to gas up and get groceries and just hunker down for a while. Which is not at all ominous.

I won’t be watching. I’m going out to my shop at 8. No internet out there. And probably not emerging until dead of night or early morning. Then, like a lot of other women, I’ll check on my status as a person going forward.

My other half is taking Benadryl and forcing himself to go to bed. He’s given strict instructions not to wake him, even if it’s good news, with a clear Kamala win. (Yea, trouble later, but it’ll still tell us what We The People decided up front, and that means a lot.)

I'm gonna watch the Some More News crew livestream and drink a lot

why would I watch

I'm smoking weed, and drinking.. weed.

I'll be watching V for Vendetta instead.

Tbh, I got a lot of work to do. I will probably just check the news that night or wait for someone to tell me.

From the burnt end of a blunt and the bottom of a bottle lol

Swede here, if I want to know directly when I wake up tomorrow, I'll check our national broadcaster's website, if not I'll probably end up learning it here on lemmy, possibly through politicalmemes or something

The restaurant I work for is hosting the mayor and a city counselor to watch the elections live with another 100 guests, so I'll be watching from the kitchen...

Ill wait till lemmy starts bitching about it.

I think I'll hide in bed until it's over.

The county assessors site for everything state and local. I will briefly check national, but I dont need the pageantry of network television to rile me up anymore than I already am.

Either at a partisan gathering or curled up under my bed in the fetal position while my dogs lick my tears, depending on how things look tomorrow evening

After asking a similar question on this channel a few days ago, I think we're going to watch the coverage on NBC, unless I find something better on YouTube.

Cue all the comments about the final results not being available tomorrow night...

Politico has a map and score that get updated https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/

There's a divey bar 10m away where people have been watching results the last few years. Might head down there. Pretty sure it'll be packed.

Alternative is to crawl into bed and wait till January.

Edit: we have a lot of local races (Mayor, City Council, propositions) on the line. Might hit the bar just to watch those and just ignore the national stuff.

FiveThirtyEight, specifically:

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-benchmarks/

I’m watching it all on AP and BBC.

I'm probably going to avoid it tomorrow. Hoping to catch the result Weds maybe.

Already watching... Dixville Notch voted an hour ago. 3-3 tie.

Unfortunately for my sanity over here in UTC+9, I can't just sleep through the whole thing. I'm hopeful that work will be busy enough tomorrow that I won't have time to think about it. What I also know is that it's most likely going to get drawn out longer, so I won't likely be specifically watching anywhere, but just picking up occasional US news somewhat accidentally along the way (either here or via fark). I voted as soon as I could print my overseas ballot and get it in the mail so I've done all I can do.
