It's odd that none of the networks are calling it yet. If you asked me before the election, I would've thought they'd be crawling over each other to be the first to declare a winner.

Yeah but every other outlet besides Fox hasn’t been willing too so maybe they’ll finally admit it.

That was based on faulty data. They had 98% of votes counted, but it was only 86%.

The simple reality is that the bullying works. Nobody wants to go out on a limb by themselves. And they all have this hilarious fantasy that they could ever do anything at all to convince conservatives that they are fair and balanced.

For the love of god, at least call Nevada. The writing has been on the wall for at least 36 hours.

The AP never rescinded their AZ call.

Also, the AP called some states before one vote was counted. As soon as the polls closed on the west coast, California, Oregon, And Washington were instantly called for Biden when 0% of the votes were counted. When I looked for the reason, I read the following: "AP people know their shit so STFU and STFD" :shock: I was like, "ok, ok" :|

Yeah AP and Fox look like they’ll be vindicated for calling AZ early. Everyone else seems super cautious about doing it because that, along with NV, would be the end game. PA is extra credit.

So, many of the swing states aren't voting for a senator this time around.

I looked at one swing state that was , Iowa, and the Opposite was true...33,000 more voters voted for Trump than the Republican senator., While only 4,000 more voters voted for Biden than the democratic senator.

So yes the nutbag doesn't fall far from the tree

This is one of the very rare times I don't think it's about ratings. I think they're nervous about calling it too soon, nervous about being blamed as the cause of whatever madness/violence might transpire after, and convinced that Trump will probably reject the results either way but they'd feel more secure if they could point out that ALL of the votes in PA or NV or wherever have been counted rather than saying the totally reasonable and accurate but slightly more nuanced "Biden is ahead and the votes left are from areas and voters that are more likely to vote for Trump so we are extremely confident that Biden will be ahead when all of the votes have been counted."

NBC said they’re waiting for PA to extend past 35k to call it.

I mean, if you were going to commit a felony to get Biden elected, why not fill out two dots and give him the Senate too?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
