megapanalo Your Guide to Our Election Coverage

It’s here. It’s time. The first battleground state polls are going to close in an hour.megapanalo

And while I don’t know what is going to happen, I do know this: We are all going to figure it out together.

I’m writing from the New York Times newsroom, where my colleagues have been working around the clock to bring you timely and accurate information about the election results. This morning, I explained what I’ll be watching for. And now, I want to guide you through what you’ll be seeing from us.

We’ll have a results map that will tell you when a state is called for former President Donald Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris. And if you want to go deeper, we’ll have a live coverage page where you can turn for real-time updates and analysis.

Tonight, we’ll have journalists on the ground in about 20 states. They’ll be covering presidential battlegrounds and key down-ballot contests, and watching for complications or disruptions at the polls. We’ll also have a team of nearly 100 journalists, engineers, statisticians, data experts and researchers working to deliver up-to-the-minute coverage of the results. That’s where my colleague Wilson Andrews, the Times editor who oversees our presentation of election results, comes in.

This morning, I called Wilson to ask him what to expect after polls close. Below are three key takeaways from our conversation.

We’ll bring you the early results — and the context you need to know.

We’ll start getting information from key battleground states early in the night. Polls close at 7 p.m. in Georgia and 7:30 p.m. in North Carolina. And we’ll be reporting those results, and those from each and every state, as soon as we have them.
