This is our live results page. What you'll find here is the up-to-the-minute electoral vote count, which states are being called for whom and by whom, and how the battleground battles are shaking out. So follow along with us here and our official Live Blog—we'll also be giving you the latest updates on poll closings, Senate races, and of course, the very important and fun task of coloring states across the country in blue or red:
Last Updated 12:36 a.m.
Electoral Votes/ Popular Vote %/ Total Vote:
Obama 303/ 49.3% / 50,039,800
Romney 203/ 49.2% / 49,938,616
12:36 a.m.: Obama has snuck ahead in the popular vote.
Democratic Seats: 19 Seats Won
Republican Seats: 7 Seats Won

Notes:
11:19 p.m. Because Joe Biden works as a tie-breaking vote, Democrats have retained control over the Senate.
10:26 p.m. CBS and NBC have called Tim Kaine the winner in Virginia
10:23 p.m. Fox News is the only network projecting a Tammy Baldwin right now, and as Elspeth Reeve reported, the GOP's Rape-Apologist Caucus had a bad night.
9:42 p.m. NBC is now projecting Elizabeth Warren as the winner of the Massachusetts Senate race.
9:15 p.m. There was some confusion earlier, apparently there has been no call so far in the Warrren-Brown Senate Race.
I have not seen confirmation anywhere of the AP Baldwin call and know for a fact NBC has not called MA for Warren.
