Where is the best place to keep up with US election results? (lemm.ee)

I refuse to watch cable news, don’t have regular tv, and not a fan of visual media for news anyways. I would love something like a Lemmy/reddit mega thread where I can refresh and get up to the minute updates, but from professional news/journalists. But without the faux drama reality tv stuff that the cable news networks always do. I also love podcasts so if there’s a listening medium that isn’t overly dramatic that works too. Any suggestions?

Reuters, BBC are fine, AP as well. Al Jazeera is good too. Always be aware of the media biases, nevertheless. Look how they frame and write.

Do they say:

[ethnic thing] arrested and stopped by Police...
or do they say:
Police murders person...

and;
Trump/Harris victim of witchhunt
or:
[nothing of that sort at all], just facts like: "The elections have started."
