Where (and When) to Watch Returns Tonight

If you are planning to follow election returns from Florida, Oklahoma, and Alaska tonight, here's a list of the best places to find up-to-the-minute results (all times EDT):


All Races: POLITICO.com (7 PM)
Results: http://www.politico.com

Florida: State Division of Elections (8 PM)*
Results: http://election.dos.state.fl.us

Twitter: @BillMcCollum, @WebsterCongress, @KarenDiebel

Oklahoma: State Election Board (8 PM)
Results: http://www.ok.gov/elections

Twitter: @JamesLankford

Alaska: State Division of Elections (12 AM)
Results: http://www.elections.alaska.gov/ei_return_2010_PRIM.php

Twitter: @JoeWMiller

POLITICO will provide a slick presentation of results from primaries across the country — including Arizona and Vermont (thus, the earlier starting time). Individual state election departments will often provide more detailed returns and more timely updates.

Have I missed anything? Leave a comment and I'll check it out.

* Most Florida polls will close at 7 PM (EDT), so we could see some results then. But Pensacola and other far west parts of the state are on Central time and will not close until 8 PM (EDT) — and the Division of Elections says results will come after 8 PM.
