When the results of the 2012 presidential election pour in Tuesday night, the lights of the Empire State Building will keep New Yorkers updated in real time.
From CNN:
As CNN projects winners in each state, the iconic beacon of Gotham will be exclusively displaying the race to 270 electoral votes with a vertical LED illuminated “meter” on its spire—blue for President Obama, and red for former Governor Romney.
And when CNN projects a winner in the presidential election, the full spire and upper floors change colors to either red or blue.
