Live Election Results Map

Today's the day! Nate Silver has offered his final election projection over at FiveThirtyEight. He'll be covering the election with Dan Rather at HDNet. Coverage starts at 7 p.m. ET.

Meanwhile if you are tracking the results as they come in here are a couple of places to check them out. The New York Times has the Election 2008 Results here and will also offer online video updates every half-hour from 7 p.m. to 12 a.m. ET, with reports from Times political correspondents.

For live election coverage online see the Talking Points Memo’s Election Night 2008 Scoreboard. TPM will be live-streaming and providing live election results via a map created in partnership with Google. Starting at 6 PM Eastern the map will start streaming live election results for the presidential, Senate and House races. You can either hover over a state or district to see the results or use the drop-down option to click on the state or district to see results down to the county level. Looks really super cool.
