Where to Watch The Results (If It's Not With Us)

Whatching the results, by Denis Sarkic via Flickr .
If for some oddball reason you decide not to watch election results with all your favorite LAisters, there are many options for you politicos who want to see where the electoral chips will fall.
While all the major candidates will be in their home state to watch the returns tonight, local events around town have been organized by the major candidates so you can watch in pure bliss/misery with like-minded people you can celebrate/commiserate with.

According to the candidate's press offices and public schedules:

- The Hillary peeps are gathering at the IATSE Local 80 union hall in Burbank: 2520 West Olive Avenue starting at 5 p.m.
- Romney supporters will be watching the madness at the American Legion Hall in Woodland Hills: 5320 Fallbrook Avenue at 8:30 p.m.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
