The NYTimes seems to have a pretty interesting live tracking dashboard which amongst other things will detail when each of the various news agencies add to the electoral count.

Thanks for all of the link suggestions, please keep in mind I'm only listing websites that specifically deal with election day coverage, not the election in general.

Just noticed that DailyKos will have a great flash based live-election map today. You can click on states and view voter breakdowns by county.

One vote from a Christian to Barack Hussein Obama is a vote to satan. How is it that a Christian rather votes for sin than for good? Don`t you Christians, who call yourself believers, understand that the USA is in Danger? Don`t you know who Barack Hussein Obama is? Please pray that our great nation don`t fall under Sharia Islamic Law. Because you “believers” will pay dearly, and yes, there is no way back once Sharia Islamic Law is in place. Barack Hussein Obama has deceived you, just like satan always has done it, and will continue doing it. May the Lord our Heavenly Father open your eyes, before it is too late. God bless and protect the United States of America.
