In all cases, Swing Left will only confirm the winner of an election based on third party reporting from trusted sources. For federal races, Swing Left will only announce a winner of a race after it has received two confirmations; one confirmation must come from the Associated Press (AP). For state legislative races, Swing Left will only announce a winner of a race after the state board of elections has reported 100% of the vote in, the AP has called the race, or our selected “paper of record” for the state has called the race.
