Q&A: How US mid-term results are sourced
Where does the BBC source its election results?
The Associated Press is providing the election results published on the BBC News website.
AP is the key organisation responsible for providing the results for the major American media networks. The information AP provides is likely to form the basis for most election results but different broadcasters may decide to use it in different ways.
This is because, in American elections, running tallies of the latest results in each race are made public while counting is still under way, creating the opportunity for partial results to be interpreted differently by different organisations.
The BBC has a relationship with US network ABC, and may take into account their decisions on races, as well as those of AP.
Could it be that the BBC is more impartial than CNN?... Things that make you go Hmmmmm.
