Leo Laporte announced by way of his local Laconi.ca microblog system that the TWiT Cottage will be providing live online coverage of election results tomorrow. In what may be presumably the best way to catch the coverage, you can listen in via computer in a program like WinAmp or VLC by using this URL: http://twit.am/listen.m3u.
This is a link to pass on to colleagues as well as patrons. This is also useful if you are located outside the United States and have trouble reaching CNN or other news sites to catch coverage. While a video stream is available at live.twit.tv, the audio stream is likely to be more durable during heavy network loads. When live audio is not available, episodes of various podcasts are played.
Coverage by the TWiT Cottage seems to be set to start at 8 PM Eastern Tuesday (conversion to other time zones is available). From other posts by Mr. Laporte, it appears that his coverage will be slanted towards technology issues. With the state of professional practice today, it is quite possible that the technology discussion will overlap with issues dear to the library world. Few other details have been released so far. At the time Mr. Laporte plans to start, polls will have not closed in any time zones west of Eastern Standard Time.
LISTen will not be covering the release of unofficial election results Tuesday night.
