Election Results Platform

Own election night.

The election-results platform built for broadcast. A fully customizable, reusable system for live results — from manual in-field entry or a results data API like the AP — plus TV graphics, ads, and election-night support.

Searchable, sponsorable, and fast under load.

Cached smart snapshots and autoscaling keep the site responsive while viewers browse maps, races, counties, and ads.

  • Clickable county maps, race pages, and county pages
  • Balance-of-power and a statewide reporting gauge
  • Cached snapshots update without page reloads — database pressure stays flat during spikes
  • Built-in ad surfaces: header leaderboard, right-rail rectangle, mid-page banner, and county-page placements

Platform

One source of truth feeds digital, field, and TV.

Manual county entry or an automated results data feed — like an AP API ingest — becomes live public results, TV graphics, RSS feeds, and optional audience notifications, all from the same engine.

Manual entry & API ingest

Stringers and office staff (mobile + desktop, optional AI photo scan), or an automated results data feed like the AP.

Election database

County results + precinct reporting.

Aggregation engine

Totals, leaders, margins, % reporting.

Public website

Maps, race pages, ad inventory.

TV graphics + RSS

Producer dashboard + output feed.

Notifications

Race / county alerts via email or SMS.

Security boundary: user roles and county-scoped permissions keep every person in the right lane.

Opportunity

Election night is a once-per-cycle audience spike.

DecisionCast turns that attention into trust, ad inventory, first-party relationships, and smooth coverage operations.

Audience

County-by-county results, maps, and race pages keep viewers engaged far longer than an ordinary article.

Revenue

Ad positions are built directly into high-traffic map, race, and county result pages.

Operations

Field stringers, office staff, TV producers, and digital editors all work from one fast, stable source of truth.

Trust

Race-call checkmarks, audit trails, and controlled permissions protect your credibility on the highest-pressure night.

In-field data entry

Designed for stringers in the field and staff at the office.

One responsive workflow handles mobile courthouse reporting and desktop backstop entry.

  • County-scoped logins so users only see assigned counties
  • Precinct-reporting tracking with a fixed, non-editable total
  • Race lists auto-filter to each county's districts
  • Audit trail records who submitted every update
  • Optional photo / OCR prefill from courthouse printouts

TV graphics + RSS

A producer dashboard controls what airs and what the feed publishes.

A TV operator can switch the graphic instantly while the website and RSS feed keep running on the very same results engine.

Producer dashboard

Pick the race on air and toggle exactly what appears in the graphic and the feed.

Instant switching

Swap the live graphic the moment a race shifts — no reload, no scramble.

1920×1080 chromakey

Broadcast-ready graphic output drops straight into your switcher.

RSS 2.0 feed

A standards-based feed of results other systems can consume.

Race-call checkmarks

Mark a race called and the check propagates across web, TV, and feed.

One engine

Air, web, and feed never disagree — they read the same numbers.

Audience growth

Optional accounts turn election-night visitors into owned audience.

Viewers can follow the races and counties that matter to them, and alerts bring them back for return visits and more ad inventory.
