If you are looking for early election results, you should not count on exit polls, as they are often skewed towards one political end, and often are inaccurate. Some of the best coverage of voting results are usually done by CNN as well as MSNBC, however there are now many great websites out there like the Huffington Post which has been providing amazing coverage of the 2010 elections thus far.
