Election Returns Parties In NYC: Where To Watch Results Come In

NEW YORK CITY -- You cast your ballot, got your sticker and now it's time to watch and wait. The 2018 Midterm Elections are upon us, and no one knows what the results will be, except that they're bound to change the course of this nation's history.

It's fine.

You could sit alone on your sofa, stare at a bright screen in a dark room, mutter quietly and clutch your cat as you find out who has been chosen to go to Washington and what rights those representatives will and will not protect.

Watch Results Come In Live Here

But wouldn't you rather scream with likeminded New Yorkers who won't feel compelled to hide underneath the bathtub when you wave and shout? Leave the cat at home, he doesn't understand, and come on out and be with friends you haven't met yet.

Here's where you'll find them:
