WEFM will have complete coverage election night of LaPorte county with supplemental coverage of Porter and Berrien counties as time permits. This is the 40th year I have been involved in coverage and Ron Miller has been doing this for about 25 years. He will be anchoring and I will be primarily compiling reports from the nearby counties as well as monitoring the Obama reception from Grant Park, Chicago.

NBC will have constant national coverage for us which we will relay when there is a lull in local coverage. In addition we have two Indiana news services both with live coverage from around the state, a similar Michigan service and live reports from Chicago of the Obama lakefront party.

In addition there will be summaries of national, Indiana, and Michigan results on-air the following morning to include details from all three local counties.

Does WEFM have a website where the election data will be posted?

No but I can direct you to the county sites if you will e-mail me a list of races which interest you. As we run a hub election night serving regional results to all of our owned stations, that leaves us little time for posting elsewhere.
