As the evening goes on, I will try to update this every 15-30 minutes. It's still early, so I'm not expecting any ground-breaking revelations until later. If 15-30 minutes isn't good enough for you, I will be on twitter as @rctechgeek  (feel free to follow me) using the hashtag "#politicalcircus2012".


Update (19:59 E.S.T) : added House and Senate totals, Romney gets WV

Update(20:06 E.S.T): results are coming in too fast to catalog individual updates, so I will just continue to update the scoreboard and you can just check that

Update(21:53 E.S.T.): just realized I had switched the values of members of the house and senate and switched them back to their correct places

Update: Unfortunately, Obama has captured enough electoral votes to win a second term.

As we're watching the election, may I suggest some Mystic Monk Coffee to go along with it (if decaf is your thing around this time of day, that works too)? If you like tea more than coffee, they also offer tea. Using the link (or picture below) to buy the coffee (or tea) helps the monks out and helps me with college expenses as well. The coffee (or tea) also makes for great gifts for friends and family.
