For anyone looking for a fix of data while waiting for polls to close, Slate's Votecastr is worth watching. (Combines early vote + polls + election day polling station observations) to attempt to produce real-time estimates of where things currently stand. Not sure how I trust it, but this is apparently the sort of methodology campaigns use to determine where they need to send GotV resources.

Currently, they've got Clinton with sizeable (50K plus) leads in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida, while Iowa, Nevada, and N.H. are much closer.
