Where is the best place to keep up with US election results? (lemm.ee)

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?

The Associated Press seems to have a decent results presentation ready to go:

I wouldn't bother watching minute-by-minute. There is a decent chance that some swing state will be close enough to trigger a recount, and/or one side files lawsuits challenging the results. This circus is far from over.

It took about a week for Biden to be declared the winner last time IIRC.

What I'm really dreading is another Bush v. Gore, which would almost certainly result the same as it did the first time around.

The fact that the Electoral College was determined to be more important than the people's votes was shameful.

Al Gore and Hillary should have won.

Huh? First of all the Electoral College has never not been the basis for presidential elections, and second of all that election had nothing to do with the Electoral College. It had to do with hanging chads, Florida governor Jeb Bush, and the Supreme Court.

I'm 99.997% certain we're going to see Trump V. Harris.
