Results: It Comes Down To This

No matter who wins Tuesday’s presidential election, you can be sure of one thing: The networks aren’t going to hold back calling the election for Barack Obama or John McCain if either gathers the magic number of 270 electoral votes.

That means it’s possible, if not altogether likely, that the presidential election could be called before polls close in the West. That happened once before, in 1980, when the election was famously called — and conceded — by 9 p.m. ET. But it’ll be the Internet, cable and the speed of news that will be the driving factor this time.
