In 2006 and 2010,I didn't watch any cable news or network news for election returns. I got info on the election returns from a coupla news/op-ed sites and links posted in what was then The Fray. I think I got some realtime returns in the 2006 Montana Senate race from the Montana Sec. Of State website. I watched very little cable/network news on Election Night in 2012 too. Plan on doing it all online next Tuesday night too. What about you guys?

On-line and radio. I only turn the TV on once a week, for Walking Dead.
 
I'll wake up the next morning, and at some point, find out who won, either online or perhaps on the radio. After I've cast my ballot, I've done all I can do, so no sense in obsessing over it. I have little to no faith in politicians and there is much else to do with the day.
 
i have a day job. i go to bed about 9-930 pm every week night (about the same time as my daughter).

the newspapers will have the election results in the morning. watching live coverage of precinct reporting is the antithesis of "must see tv". only political wonks spend hours obsessing over this on cable or websites. they should get a life.
 
Will watch local tv stations to get coverage of State results. Should know how the main races are going by the time I hit the sack around 10 p.m. I'm usually up by shortly after 4 a.m. and will get the national take by switching back and forth between Faux and MSNBC.
 
I'll be overseas so probably read about it the next morning online and maybe catch some post-game highlights on tv if I have the stomach for it.

I generally wait until the next morning to get local results in the local newspaper. Being a TX Democrat,the local results in midterm elections are pretty predictable anyway. :(
