For earlier, partial results, they are partnering with Reuters and the National Election Pool (the latter includes CNN, but also ABC, CBS, and NBC, and it contracts with Edison Research for exit polling, tabulations, and projections).
We're partnering with Reuters and the National Election Pool to provide authoritative information about election results. We'll show this in the Voting Information Center so it's easily accessible, and we'll notify people proactively as results become available.
