It’s Election Day in the US with millions of Americans casting their ballots across the country. Live coverage of results should begin this evening at 7:00 pm as the first polls begin to close on the East Coast. If you have cable or a digital antenna, you can easily tune in to either your local station or a national news provider like CNN to see live results. Some streaming services, like Amazon Prime Video and Max will also host live election coverage programming for subscribers as well.
However, if you dont have access to any of these options, there are some free streaming choices that will have the exact same up-to-the-second coverage of the election results as well for the low cost of nothing at all
