AP seems to have a new resultsType for that (reference):

Automatic Switch From Live to Certified Results
The new resultsType=b option in the Elections request allows you to receive live data during vote tabulation and switch to certified data as it becomes available without having to change from resultsType=l to resultsType=c to get certified results. Since not all races in a state might be certified at the same time, the response may potentially include a mix of live and certified results (as they become available) when you specify resultsType=b parameter in the request. Use the existing resultsType field in the response to determine whether a race has been certified.

I imagine we can wait to implement this until post-election if need be.

These appear to be coming in piecemeal, GA is available

Certified results from the general election are now available for Georgia in The Associated Press API and AP Newsroom elections dashboard. On the API, these can be found by using resultsType=b or resultsType=c in your query. This concludes AP’s tabulation of the Georgia general election. No further results will be compiled or disseminated.
