Which electoral maps should you use to watch the drama unfold? Start with First Dog’s Electoral College-O-Meter. He’s got a red pen and a blue pen — and boy can this dog colour between the lines.
Also on the ball are:
- New York Times lets you delve deep into the counties with its spiffy map.
- MSNBC
- “History as it happens” at CNN
- Slate
