i watched the election coverage on abc solely because it had the strongest signal on my crappy tv antenna.. otherwise, i would've watched it on nbc or cnn...

Watched ABC because they had full widescreen where other channels used the sides of the screen to show tallies.

same as the first poster. CBS and NBC are fuzzy nightmares on my tv even with cable. (plus cable newscasters generally drive me crazy)

ABC was the only comprehensive channel for folks without full cable... plus the coverage ranged from NYC, LA, Chicago, to Kenya. The interactive technology the journalists were using were amazing as well...

brilliant answers - thank you everyone!

I watched on CBS and CNN. I like the tallies along the borders.

ABC was the first to go HD. I don't know if their national news is HD yet, but interesting that NBC is still not truly HD yet (I think)

ABC had the minimalist graphics ftw! They also reminded me that they are still Disney property and they always know how to make happy endings.
