Results for most federal and statewide elections are provided by the Associated Press. Thousands of AP correspondents periodically report the results from election centers across the country, and the resulting tabulated data are disseminated to member organizations.
Except for certain state and local races, which are called by newsroom editors, race winners and electoral votes are called by AP state and Washington bureaus.
For races tabulated by AP, the expected vote percentage (EVP) is based on a variety of factors, such as turnout in recent elections and details on early voting.
