Returns on the presidential race from most of the big, pivotal states were so close that none dared to project winners. Television did a superb job of pulling together reports that started before the Eastern polls closed and continued all night.

It was enormously complicated, yet ABC, CBS and NBC, each in its own style, managed to keep the public abreast of the changing, tight presidential race and at the same time keep up with the gubernatorial, congressional and local contests. One interesting aspect of the coverage was the way all three networks followed approximately the same basic programming pattern. They all cut to reports on local races at about the same time. They often all flashed the same presidential vote totals on their screens at the same time. And frequently all three networks were towing commer in some of the larger states was liam Buckley continued their commentaries on ABC but not appearing together.

Network competition for audiences was mostly confined to the way each, with its computerized projection system, picked winners on the basis of returns in sample precincts.
