The latest election data from 8 swing states Updated: 2:20 p.m. E.T.

Background on this data

In the past, media organizations agreed to hold back any Election Day voting data because they thought the information trickling in throughout the day would unduly affect voters.

Through a partnership with the data firm VoteCastr and Slate, VICE News breaks that rule and for the first time will bring you voting turnout data from the battleground states in real time. VoteCastr’s models and methods are based on the same techniques that presidential campaigns use. Its founders were part of previous presidential campaigns for Barack Obama and George W. Bush. What we see is likely what the war rooms inside the presidential campaigns are seeing.

Earlier, for instance, they had way fewer votes than we know were early voted. Their numbers may be unreliable.
