Just drink alcohol in the basement alone and check the internet in a week.

In January... 2029
Stay offline entirely, and read the result in a printed newspaper the next day
It'll be more than a day. Expect a week and be pleasantly surprised by 5 days.
all of our media is controlled by capitalists so i plan on going with organizations that have had a reliable history within the last decade or so; like democracynow or npr.
NPR is state media, and who runs the state? The capitalist class.
very true and if it weren't for the tireless efforts of their journalists i would have classified it as the same category as the others.
i think that the best you can do under the overwhelming circumstances in my country is to try and i think that they are trying despite their own biases manifesting themselves from time to time and their perpetual funding dance with partners like the imperial gov't and the american oligarchs.
Is it bad that I get most of my non-local news from foreign sources? I do look at the AP and NPR but I usually go to the BBC or Reuters first and I almost always check the CSM for international stories I want more information on.
i don't think that they're much different, if at all.
Unless I take the extreme measure of touching grass, social media will keep me apprised unbidden.
un-biden
Most of the major newspapers (this is from a UK perspective but I'd imagine they're accessible in other places) have a live news page for big developing news stories - the BBC site is probably a good unbiased-ish one
I think the US news sites are going to post their live updates to their websites too, that is at least how it was the last few presidential elections (I think I mostly used CNN). That is the same data they use for their news coverage, so you could use that; but watching live television will give you a clue when important updates have happened on them.
Of course you could just follow election-related hashtags on Mastodon to get a wide variety of people shouting all kinds of things about the election.
Some More News will do a livestream of the results. They are usually on point with their analysis and sources.
Maybe good ol newspapers or eventually check if the federal government has an official result page
Local news usually have a webpage or a YouTube channel keeping track of stuff too.
