Well, the US seems both more advanced and more ass-backwards compared to here in Turkey. Our way of getting data is very archaic, with people checking the results locally etc. (Internet might or might not be internally involved in that). But the trust in the elections are very low, and so the coverage of the elections has been a BIG issue since 2014 or so, many news networks have a few sources in parallel, and had the numbers for each reporting outlet and their biases on screen at the same time (different outlets converge in the end, but the intermediate numbers they report can be VERY divergent)

In addition to all those, there is Oy ve Otesi, a non-profit does the entire thing with only volunteer work. Their coverage is pretty minimal in rural areas, though.
