Any sources of JSON data for live US election results? (mander.xyz)

I'm wondering if anyone has found (free) sources of data to use for live elections results, specifically the Presidential race? I've been building a map of poll results but would also like to put something together to watch the race tomorrow night.

One promising item I found are some json files from Reuters...

This one provides info on the candidates and the key for state ID's: https://graphics.thomsonreuters.com/data/2024/us-elections/production/events/20241105/metadata.json

This one seems like it will provide the ballot counts(0) and possibly any declared winners(1): https://graphics.thomsonreuters.com/data/2024/us-elections/production/events/20241105/summary-votes/president.json

Of course I won't know anything for sure until tomorrow evening when states start releasing their counts, but I went ahead and wrote up some code to use the files. It's something at least, and the Reuters data should be fairly timely. I hope to play around with the collected info in real time, then maybe next election I can re-use the same code.
