Live, from Northwest Indiana

By Garance Franke-Ruta
CNN is reporting that there are more than 11,000 outstanding uncounted absentee ballots in Gary, Ind., and that Lake County will not report its final election results including that tally, allowing the race to be called, until perhaps as late a midnight.

In the meantime, the Northwest Indiana and Illinois Times is updating election results live on its blog, and you can follow the blow-by-blow here.

The latest: Gary Mayor Rudy Clay arrived at his headquarters "Tuesday night with a list of voting results showing overwhelming margins for Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. Many of the districts had Obama with triple-digit totals and Clinton with totals in the single digits or teens. One district had a result of 126-4."
