How will early voting be reported on election day?

By precinct with the other votes? Or will we have a big lead in states like Florida and Nevada, and then watch it whittle away while hopefully finishing ahead.

The lady told me...early voting and mailed in ballots are counted first...so the first numbers you see after polls close 7:30 in Ohio.. will be when the number come in...our polls close at 7:00.

in my California county, except for the two weekends before the election there is only one early in-person voting location. Now mail-in votes, which IMHO are a form of early voting, are opened and tallied at the county registrar's office, and they don't break them down by anything smaller than city, congressional district, assembly district - and then only for those specific offices.
