2014 US Congressional Election Results

[Mr. Morden]

Does anyone have links for live coverage of US TV channels? US election nights are a million times more fun with TV!

I don't think Dave would appreciate us giving out direct links to pirated TV streams here, but I just googled "MSNBC streaming", and it was pretty easy to find pirated streams out there.  I imagine you can do the same for the other networks.
