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?

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).
