In partnership with AOL News, we have a handy way to track the votes in every state. The interactive map below will tell you what states have polls open, when they close, and will track the calls made by the AP on whether each state goes to Barack Obama or John McCain. Click on each state to see a county-by-county breakdown of the voting, as well as more detailed information on state totals.
I’ll be checking this throughout the day, and it’s just one of many reasons to make Hot Air your primary Election Day website!
Update: Bumped to near top.

manofiki: that merely means those are the tendencies in those counties. It is way too early to have much thought about FL.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 7:57 PM
Razor thin margin for McCain in Indiana. If McCain looses IN, and the election because of it, I plan to punch a Libertardian in the head.
peski on November 4, 2008 at 7:59 PM
Last I heard he was tied before election day in FL.
That’s what’s so off about these early numbers.
I know, they are early numbers.
jimbodeano67 on November 4, 2008 at 7:59 PM
Thanks, makes sense now. Panhandle should go red.
Oldnuke on November 4, 2008 at 8:00 PM
UGH!
Zero – 77
Hero – 28
Tony737 on November 4, 2008 at 8:01 PM
Not really but NC is not looking good. Charlotte was expected to go to Obama but I don’t know if by more than 2-1 and Raleigh is going to be at least that bad.
neuquenguy on November 4, 2008 at 8:02 PM
What? We lost DELAWARE???
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo!!!!!
haha
Tony737 on November 4, 2008 at 8:02 PM
Voted for McCain/Palin in Quincy MA! I’m sure I just scored the big win for the team. :) Ah well, if nothing else, maybe the repeal of the state income tax will pass!
alathia on November 4, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Fox News called SC for McCain. I agree it’s not counted yet with only 1% reporting.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:05 PM
The Polls in PA closed right at 8:00pm………and at 8:00pm on the DOT NBC News called PA for OBAMA.
Riiiiiiiiight.
manofaiki on November 4, 2008 at 8:05 PM
What the hell is up with these numbers? SC has been called red, but the stats say Obama 55/McCain 44 with 1% reporting??? Is there some kind of delay in reporting the stats? That could make this kind of difficult to use.
JackOfClubs on November 4, 2008 at 8:05 PM
Why is SC being called for McCain when the numbers have it 56-43 Obama?
Maybe I really should just go do something else for a few hours.
Hawkins1701 on November 4, 2008 at 8:06 PM
Imma go way out on a limb and call california for Obama
VolMagic on November 4, 2008 at 8:07 PM
Anyone know how the Murtha race is going?
doodleduh on November 4, 2008 at 8:08 PM
We are seeing different numbers, I see 47% Obama, 53% McCain in SOUTH Carolina
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:09 PM
They are just trying to keep Obama way ahead in electoral votes too because one could easily call TX and KS for McCain.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:11 PM
Alright stuff a sock in Bill Kristol.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:14 PM
What the hell is going on? States being called with no reports? What am I missing?
Oldnuke on November 4, 2008 at 8:14 PM
McCain closing the gap in Florida as more of the counties report in; now 54 Obama, 46 McCain with 23% reporting
manofaiki on November 4, 2008 at 8:15 PM
Evidently states are being called by the MSM based on exit polls. I would have thought they had learned their lesson by now…
JackOfClubs on November 4, 2008 at 8:15 PM
Exactly! Buck up, Eeyores!
And I’m getting irritated by all of AP’s “Waaah!” diaries front paged with Palin images.
REALLY, now.
lansing quaker on November 4, 2008 at 8:18 PM
Exit polls or just their belief in the color of that state. But yes, they are calling states with 0% counted for Obama. However with McCain, they want to wait and see. As I said, we KNOW KS and TX will go to McCain, but the MSM don’t want him looking even close to “the one” in electoral votes, so they are sporadically calling states. And yes, FL is moving McCain. I predict McCain will win it.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:20 PM
Mac and Palin are on their way. Screw the MSM!
XWing5 on November 4, 2008 at 8:24 PM
AOL is starting a bunch of their state poll results at O% but with the first few counties showing huge leads for Obama with 0% of the counties reporting……and then having to change a bunch of blue counties to red as the returns come in.
They’ve had to do this with about 4 counties in Florida so far, accounting for the gap shrinking with none of the panhandle counties reporting yet.
manofaiki on November 4, 2008 at 8:27 PM
Yep, Just heard that on Fox. What a bunch of BS, our fine media are just doing a peachy job keeping us accurately informed. If it wasn’t for movies and the History Channel I’d throw all my TV’s in the landfill. I’ve already stopped reading the local newsrag.
Oldnuke on November 4, 2008 at 8:27 PM
Things are fine, looking at the maps. Only worried about NC right now.
XWing5 on November 4, 2008 at 8:28 PM
AOL Bias evident here in NC page:
http://news.aol.com/elections/2008/state/nc
Take a look, mouse over the counties, both blue and red.
Any counties dead even or separated by a point or 3 is BLUE.
McCain has to be leading by 5 points or more for a county to be colored red.
manofaiki on November 4, 2008 at 8:31 PM
Did we seriously lose PA?!?! No way… Are they basing this JUST off exit polling??
XWing5 on November 4, 2008 at 8:32 PM
NC does look bad until you click on the interior state map with counties and see how many (more than 50% I’d guess) haven’t reported yet.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:32 PM
XWing: and others – Look at the percentage counted before you believe a thing. PA is showing Obama, but 0% counted! It’s merely speculation from the same people that fed you the polls.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Well Mccain/Pailn is going down hard and fast
Obama has already won the big prize in PA,he’s leading in FL and he’s even ahead in TX,Bush’s home state.
The flood gates are about to open and the GOP will be swept away once and for all
oh by the way,bye bye God less Liz Dole
Super majority in the House
Fillabuster-proof in the Senate
Democrat in the WH
DcMike2K on November 4, 2008 at 8:34 PM
Guys start watching New Jersey. The MSM is in for a shock.
manofaiki on November 4, 2008 at 8:35 PM
Also note what’s not being called. IN is showing 40% counted with McCain 53% and no one is calling that state!
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:35 PM
Fox News just gave PA to Obummer. I’m actually going to CNN, to enemy camp to see another hour or two. Then I’m going to review our finances and enjoy the rest of the evening with my family to discuss the future of our country.

Michigan going toward McCain?
espnjunkie on November 4, 2008 at 8:39 PM
Georgia was just called for McCain.
Blake on November 4, 2008 at 8:40 PM
Ya think maybe we should get at least a couple of precincts reporting before you make stupid calls? PA has 0% of their vote counted and the “news” media is calling it? PLEASE!
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 8:40 PM
woooooooooohooooooooooo!!! :)
your_worst_enemy on November 4, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Aw jeez! All the networks and 24/7 are in a panic now. They’re trying to outdo each other in making the call. Hell why don’t they just call it for Obama and go home. For all the use they are they might as well.
Oldnuke on November 4, 2008 at 8:42 PM
Change is coming
Change is sweeping across the nation
McCain/Pailn can’t stop it
Right wing radio can’t stop it
Neo-Con pundits in the media can’t stop it
do your part and support President Barrack Obama
NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE
DcMike2K on November 4, 2008 at 8:43 PM
McCain has now lowered the gap to 4 points in FLA, 52-48, with 14% of precincts reporting in.
manofaiki on November 4, 2008 at 8:44 PM
They all called PA and NJ waaaaaaaaay too early.
Keep watching!
manofaiki on November 4, 2008 at 8:46 PM
heres the great thing. those states — they ARE going to go for Obama.
cry now, cry later.
I had a crappy “day after” the 2004 election — followed around at work by a Christian who spent the day poking me in the chest, saying “my side won, my side won”.
I __tolerated__ 8 long years of Bush.
Your chickens have come up to roost.
your_worst_enemy on November 4, 2008 at 8:46 PM
Anyone else tired with CNN doing constant cuts to Grant Park? Nice way to tell those thinking of voting for McCain-Palin to stay home in the Western states. Wow! look at that mob of zombies- no point in fighting that!
dIb on November 4, 2008 at 8:48 PM
your_worst_enemy: I suggest you calm your enthusiasm, because you are setting your self up for a big disappointment. It’s how conspiracy theories are started.

Ed didn’t come up with the map – it comes from AOL. They’ve just made some arrangement to carry it here. The Map isn’t the problem. It’s the in the tank media. Read the map well and you will see where we are.
Worst enemy: get lost.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 9:00 PM
The truly bad thing about obama winning is that it pretty much puts that last nail in the coffin of public education. We’ll end up with alot more…’simple’ people like “worst enemy”.
Handel on November 4, 2008 at 9:00 PM
richard,
of course you dont believe my story. Too bad than that i blogged about it back in 2006 —
http://www.village-idiot.org/archives/2006/10/21/a-promise-not-to-gloat/
and Im hardly simple.
And i’ll be sure to quote that “republicans dont cry” bit later on tommorow, when youre all crying.
your_worst_enemy on November 4, 2008 at 9:02 PM
the flood gates has just been blown open
Obama just doubled his EV to 200
McCain needs to concede now before he gets embrassed
DcMike2K on November 4, 2008 at 9:04 PM
57% of IN counted, showing McCain at 51% – no call
57% of VA counted, McCain in lead at 52%- no call
21% of GA counted, McCain leading 62% – no call
Now go to the eastern states and see how many have been called for Obama with absolutely NO vote counted. PA is counted at 2% and yet called for Obama. You all are getting sucked in.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 9:05 PM
worst…your as simple as they come. But its a good thing. I like hanging with people like you. It makes me look even smarter than I already AM. Lets have a cup of joe some time.
“joe” is slang for coffee by the way. Just in case you were confused.
(simple simple sweet ‘worse’)
:)
Handel on November 4, 2008 at 9:05 PM
So how exactly do they call states with literally 0% of the vote reported. I’m seeing it for both candidates so it’s not just media bias.
canadianrepublican on November 4, 2008 at 9:07 PM
Yup, something tells me we’re in for a Dewey beats Truman moment in the morning. Of course we’ll have to listen to the media whining about how they were snookered by this and that into making stupid calls too early. I’m sure it’ll be Bush’s fault.
Oldnuke on November 4, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Katblog,
My thoughts exactly. They are calling all the swing states too early for obama to try and get to 270 quickly
wakey74 on November 4, 2008 at 9:14 PM
Did McCain challenge the PA call?
Conservative_SAHM on November 4, 2008 at 9:14 PM
this is a complete and total rejection of:
(1)the last 8yrs of Bush and
(2)the next 4yrs of McCain/Palin
for all those people that had McPailn winning,how does he get there now with PA,MI,WS,RI,NY,NM off the board??
DcMike2K on November 4, 2008 at 9:17 PM
how do you challenge a stupid media’s call? You simply have to wait for the votes to be counted to prove them right or wrong. The news media calling a state doesn’t do anything but put people’s hopes up or down – it has not actual affect on the election unless people on the west coast become discouraged and don’t vote.
katablog.com on November 4, 2008 at 9:18 PM
Obama just won Ohio
IT’S OVER
DcMike2K on November 4, 2008 at 9:19 PM
You are an incredbly arrogant moron. Libertarians are not disaffected republicans. We have nothing in common with with your big government bought by corporate America republican party.
Stop trying to think think that we would vote for your loser candidates in any scenario ever.
Signed, a die hard forever true Libertarian, never ever was republican, never ever will be.

*****feh!*****
I assure you, my sad little friend, when my alarm goes off in the morning, the sun will have come up – regardless of who wins this race. And four years will go by much faster than you may think. I will be much busier tomorrow, if the Messiah wins, make no mistake about that…arranging my finances, protecting my wealth so as not to facilitate any “spreading” of it that has not been authorized by me. As for crying, whining, or any other form of pathos – probably not. Fear, maybe – but not crying.

god does Brit look gloomy
McCain has no chance now
DcMike2K on November 4, 2008 at 9:20 PM
He had no chance two years ago. The fact that he ever made it this close with the head winds that were against him was a miracle.
paulsur on November 4, 2008 at 9:22 PM
No, Obama is your chicken. Though you think you’ve made the right decision, you’ll suffer through his presidency (should the unforgivable happen tonight) like the rest of us.
Esthier on November 4, 2008 at 9:22 PM
I keep seeing a lesson out of this, which is being less conservative and more “moderate” does not work.
nemo239 on November 4, 2008 at 9:24 PM
69-30 in PA? How did they say that was too close to call then? Something doesn’t smell right.
Sultry Beauty on November 4, 2008 at 9:25 PM
Damn right. Democrats are the ones who go into hysterics and deep funks over an electoral loss.
Me, I’m going to get out my guitar and play, just like yesterday.
Alex_SF on November 4, 2008 at 9:25 PM
DCMike, should we support Obama the same way that you Democrats supported President Bush?
DCGamer on November 4, 2008 at 9:25 PM
America is over. Think Germany 1933. The candidate of change has won. The next free election could be 20 year away. Buy more ammo. Use Cash. While you can. You have been warned.

Can someone please clear this up for me? Are these reporting actual votes, or are these numbers from exit polling?
cadenza on November 4, 2008 at 9:27 PM
MD in statistical deadheat? with 4% in? How the heck are they calling this stuff???
I’m going to tae-kwon-do, kick a little a$$, then come back and get some REAL results.
Sultry Beauty on November 4, 2008 at 9:27 PM
oy, i think its time i just shut off the tv.
lmwyman on November 4, 2008 at 9:27 PM
Looks like Bush backlash is handing the Democrats all three branches of the federal government. Libby Dole lost in NC and Obama has a BIG lead here.Dems have Taken at least 3 Senate seats and lead in the house about 2 to 1. Obama already is projected to win PA and is ahead in FL and OH..not looking good. I don’t fault McCain as much as it was Bushes domestic policies that cost John McCain the election. When Bush proposed the federal bailout…he sank McCain. Lets hope Obama is a quick study. As of now Omama needs only about 95 electoral votes to clinch the Presidency.
kanda on November 4, 2008 at 9:28 PM
9% in in MI and it’s 48 obama 51 McCain but called for Obama… this is messed up and ridiculous. With those kinds of numbers they ought to just call NM, LA, TX, and GA. Why haven’t they called GA??? This is completely rigged.
Sultry Beauty on November 4, 2008 at 9:30 PM

DcMike2K on November 4, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Let me get this straight: Fox News is calling New Mexico for Obama while McCain is up 61-48? WTF!!!!!
The AOL poll is calling Michigan for Obama, while he is down?
William Teach on November 4, 2008 at 9:31 PM
Look, bill – you need to have a bit more faith in the American public than that. SHOULD the unthinkable happen – and Dear Leader be elected president – it will be nothing more than a long, hard, four-year lesson about Socialism. It’s bad – but not totally devastating. If we get stuck with this kind of “change” for a few years, OK…the time will be ripe, come next election cycle, to “change” again.
uncivilized on November 4, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Being a Big gov’t republicrat doesnt work. Think of it this way You have the big socialists they like to call themselves “democrats”, then you have thier little brothers socialists, then call themseleves “republicans”.
Even Reagan, whom most republicans like to call conservative was a social moderate.
What is wrong with being socially moderate and fiscally reponsible, I ask you? You republicans have a truly messed up party. You think that Mike Huckabe and Fred Thompson are conservative. They are bought and paid for big government moderates. Remember this, every election we get the government we deserve. Maybe one day you all will stop voting for one of the two fellas they ( the Goldman Sachs) select for you all.
paulsur on November 4, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Heh. Minnesota – 0% reporting, McCain 64 – Obama 35%.
Called for Obama. Makes sense.
Jaibones on November 4, 2008 at 9:33 PM
Probably. But I didn’t want one.
Esthier on November 4, 2008 at 9:34 PM
Well, so far, tallying up only the reported percentages I have McCain winning 215 to Obama’s 193*.
This with most precincts unreported and many states still to close polls. So for what it’s worth, we’re winning.
*209 if you count DC and Delaware which were called for Obama despite reporting 0% – 0%.
canadianrepublican on November 4, 2008 at 9:34 PM
MO 54 45 McCain with 5%. Why haven’t they called it? All the ones in favor of Obama are up, very little for McCain. So not right!!! 55 44 WI with 3% is already called for Obama! It’s just freaking MSM BS!
Sultry Beauty on November 4, 2008 at 9:34 PM
Why is MN being called for the one? The current poll shows the one with 35% and McCain with 64% Are the people putting up the numbers or calling states drunk or something?
USBB on November 4, 2008 at 9:35 PM

sven10077 on November 4, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Unless you are a rabid partisan, DCMike, you must admit that the majority of voter registration fraud (and voter fraud) has been committed by Democrats. If the numbers in Obama’s favor end up being high enough, then I will agree that he won fair and square. It is a bit early to make that call, however.
Furthermore, should Obama win, we will be the President of the United States. That does not mean I must automatically give him my support. When he makes good decisions, I will support him, and when he proposes stupid things, I will oppose him.
DCGamer on November 4, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Ha Ha Ha DcMike, Indiana (even though the media won’t call it) belongs to McCain 51% to Obama’s 48% with 68% vote counted.

DcMike2K on November 4, 2008 at 9:40 PM
Obama’s values are not MY values. If he’s elected, then he’ll be president for four years. I respect the office – but I don’t have to respect the man. Gloat, if that’s what you’re going to do – but remember, getting elected does not, in and of itself, make him presidential. If he can’t prove himself to the other 50% of us, four years is all he’ll get. Change works both ways, after all.
uncivilized on November 4, 2008 at 9:41 PM

tessa on November 4, 2008 at 9:43 PM
Oh, I don’t know about all that, Mike – I’m conservative, and I vote. I also pay taxes, and I create jobs, as do most conservatives. If we stop doing either of these two things, en masse, they who’ll pony up for the health care and social programs and “free stuff” that folks like you voted for?
