Covering/Blogging The Election

Some worthy sites to watch on Election Day.

iDashboards has a live dashboard that will run next week, showing you the current results from the election. It’s really cool because you can hover your mouse over states to see the voting results.

Talking Points Memo Talking Points Memo will be livestreaming from Obama’s headquarters and posting results with a map created with its partner Google.

The New York Times has all the news that’s fit to print, or post, with videos updated every half hour and analysis.

If you can’t get enough C-Span on TV, then make sure you visit their election site. One feature I like is that you can view any of the campaign ads and watch the previous debates.

Topix will organize all the News on 2008 Presidential Election continually updated from thousands of sources around the net.

Current TV Current Diggs the Election: Your Election Night Party with Digg, Twitter, and Diplo.

Swing State Project is running probably the best of the election maps, showing poll closing times as well as cumulative counts.

Political Base is one of the best blogs around that tracks news coverage, election predictions, and opinions. It will likely start reporting on the results next Tuesday.

Social Median is a news aggregator with an election page that includes blogs, Twitter posts, Flickr and YouTube videos, and a lot of other rich content that you can filter easily.

TechPresident.com is a great daily digest of Web content with charts that graph out supporters and what they are saying at popular social nets.

Photograph Your Polling Place The Polling Place Photo Project is a nationwide experiment in citizen journalism that encourages voters to capture, post and share photographs of this year’s primaries, caucuses and general election.

Politico Politico has all the standard election coverage paraphernalia – swing state map, live blogging of the results but adds in some irreverent video commentary taking in Vanilla Ice, Mary Poppins and vehemently anti-Obama cardinals.

Slate is running an online tipsheet with an hourly digest of all the significant developments

ABC News Livestreams of its newscast, the scene at both the McCain and Obama campaigns’ headquarters, roving reporters and searchable exit polling data, liveblogging and results via SMS.
