Follow the Election in Real-Time Using the Empire State Building Lights

Remember back in August when we wondered about who controlled the lights on the top of the Empire State Building?

At least for tonight we know that it’s CNN. 

The media powerhouse will be broadcasting election results in real-time using the beams of LED lights at the top of the Empire State Building. Red signifies Romney, blue for Obama.

As the electoral college votes roll in, the bars on the top will move accordingly, tallying the competition up to 270. 

You can follow the election night conversation and the lights on Twitter at #CNNElection and @EmpireStateBldg.
