Following the polls on Super Tuesday

If you somehow escaped US electioneering up to this point, you probably won't today, Super Tuesday, when 24 states choose their candidates for the fall election. This will be the largest number of primaries going on at one time in the history of the U.S. electoral system.
Over the last few weeks and months, there has been a massive volume of news coverage, statistics and polls -- and there will be even more today. Our mission is to help organize all of it for you, so you can find what you're looking for. There are a number of ways Google can help you keep track of all the candidates and issues -- from Maps with the latest results, to YouTube videos from voters across the country. You can read all about these initiatives on the
Google Blog
.
Of course, we want to do our part as well. In addition to all the latest stories from thousands of sources in our new
Elections section
, we've also put together a
gadget
that tracks the progress of the candidates in each of the 24 states. Here's an example of how it might look; please note these are not actual results!
In addition to providing up to date information about the results on all the candidates as the polls close, you'll also be able to view this information on Google Maps. You can see the results across the United States, within a particular region, and even as specific as a particular county.
So check it out and
let us know
what you think.
