What does Decision Desk HQ do?

Decision Desk HQ counts and reports votes. In 2016 we became the first organization to successfully compete with the Associated Press to collect, analyze, and report election night in over 50 years. In addition to being the first organization to declare Donald Trump the winner of key states, DDHQ Executive Director Brandon Finnigan was the first election night analyst to call the 2016 presidential election for Republican Donald Trump. Finnigan made his call on the Buzzfeed/Twitter election night webcast (watched by over 6 million viewers). In addition to our election night coverage, we provide daily campaign and election news and analysis at https://decisiondeskhq.com. The Decision Desk HQ's proprietary results collection and reporting technology, combined with a diverse stable of political and election experts enable us to speed the collection and reporting of accurate election results at any level from presidential to local school board. Our investment in technology also enables us to distribute results quickly and in a variety of ways opening up the opportunity to have our results carried as widely as possible to sites large and small. Results are made available free to sites on an ad-based model as well as via a customizable subscription-based plan.
