Monitoring the U.S. Elections Online?

shahman wonders: "I'll be on the road all day this election day, so the only access I'll have is through my PDA/Phone. I was wondering if any Slashdot readers know of WAP-enabled services or low-bandwidth sites that are providing (semi) real-time election coverage?" Nobbin has a similar, but less bandwidth-restrictive question: "I was wondering where I could find live results for the coming U.S. election, online. I live in Australia so I can't get them through watching CNN and so forth. I'm looking for something similar to the Austalian Electoral Commission's virtual tally room. So far, Google hasn't turned up much."

    wow! still!!! 18% bush, 43% kerry - (4438 v. 10625)
    And Again!!! 18% bush, 43% kerry - (6741 v. 16031)

    Now, if only these people really will go out there and vote!!!

    This is NOT a done deal until December when the Electorate votes. And we know how much they can screw things up!!!

    Sorry to be a pedant but Murdoch is a US citizen. He renounced his Australian citizenship to get around restrictions on media ownership. That, I think, tells you all you need to know about Murdoch's priorities. Fox News is a disgrace however - whatever the nationality of the owner.
