Our family is planning to watch the election coverage together on Tuesday night. What do you recommend we watch? We’d like some good quality national coverage without getting bombarded by red politics. We don’t have cable TV, so are limited to streaming services.
This just sounds stressful.

None. First of all, watching news is far worse then reading it in terms of how you guard against subjective influence.

I’ll probably see the result without effort the next day, say “huh,” and go on with my life.
There are gonna be so many lawsuits this election we won’t know the outcome till Jan 7
