Is there any place that's offering an alert

When Biden goes over the top? I'm getting sick of hanging on the news, but I sure would like to go out and honk my horn like crazy at the very minute. And I would leave my phone on to be able to do that.

I am sure I will get another notice if Biden reaches 270 EC votes.

I don't even know how to turn it off when the "news" is not what I wanted lol

Edit: I think it's the news app that notifies me. Try "settings" > scroll down to "news" > "notifications" > "allow notifications"

me too, I would do it as well (not that anybody can here me in the middle of nowhere - though there might be some hunters camped out within a mile or so )

I asked them to text me when Biden is declared the winner. I have a lot of political junkies in my family so I know at least one of them will know the minute it happens.

Some are saying 15k votes left to count in Dem area, with provisionals to count and military.

On the results page the top result is the AP map of the US with Biden & Trump and number each has of electoral college votes. You can hover your cursor over the map to see percentages and how many votes each got in each state. Undeclared states are in pink and light blue. The undeclared states are in a chart below with more information.

This way I don't have to watch the news to quickly check where things stand. It automatically updates when anything changes.
