Who needs a television when there are so many Web sites dedicated to keeping you informed and entertained on election day?

PCWorld.com offers a look at 20 sites covering a wide range of election activities.

Among them:

  • MSNBC Results Widget: This tool delivers real-time results to your blog or social-network profile. Just set the options–you can choose to see specific states or a nationwide view–and you’ll receive up-to-the-second returns where you want them.
  • SocialMedian: Get all sorts of election-focused social content in one central location. SocialMedian aggregates conversations from blogs, Twitter posts, and YouTube videos to create a single space for finding and filtering the Internet’s hottest election topics at any moment.
  • Indecision 2008: Turn to Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and your other favorite Comedy Central stars for humorous election coverage. Interactive chat rooms await, along with live blogs by comedians such as Patton Oswalt, scheduled to start posting at 7:30 Eastern on Tuesday night.

Of course, I should also mention the paper’s own coverage of local election news. The Post-Dispatch’s election coverage will feature a wide range of content, including blogger commentary, twitter updates and live video footage.

We can all be assured everything this election will be covered fairly by the media, for the Democrats, that is.
