Elections 2004 Special Coverage
November 2, 2004

washingtonpost.com will be with you all day and night to offer live, continuous coverage of the elections. Our reporting and tools will help you gauge turnout and make sense of election returns in the race for the presidency and in every U.S. Senate, U.S. House and governor race across the country as well as county-by-county coverage of Washington area elections.

Political experts will answer reader questions in live discussions throughout the day. Then, starting at 6 p.m., join Washington Post and washingtonpost.com reporters and editors for instant analysis, latest results, dispatches from our reporters around the region and the country, and photos, audio and video from our multimedia team.

You can also track the results of the constitutional amendments defining marriage being considered in many states, the California stem cell vote and whether Colorado will split its electoral college votes between the candidates. As always, Howard Kurtz and Dan Froomkin will write Web-only columns that dissect and analyze the results.

In addition, the site will feature the Channel Surfer, which will track how the television networks are calling the presidential race in every state.

You can track results of any race in the country using our handy state and Zip code search and a quick list of the most recently declared winners. Print out our electoral college scorecard and track the states along with us.

While you're awaiting results, come celebrate the end of the campaigns the best way we know how — in verse. Give us your limericks, your haikus and sonnets, your Seussian babble and off-rhyming couplets. Submit your ode to Election '04; we'll post all the best (the rest we'll ignore).
