To the question, they have a lot of information going in and the uneven way that precincts report can give false leads. Most of the time they're making those calls based on a preponderance of evidence towards where the state will go and sure, they can wait until it's mathematically impossible for one candidate to lose, but every other news outlet would have scooped you five hours ago and taken all your viewers.

I don't get to pick the wine either.

I understand why they may have called it already. But from an 'optics, we want people to have faith in the results' sort of view, I think it's pretty dumb to call it right now. I expect VA to go blue, but it looks odd to call it when Biden is so far behind at the moment.

I think most people understand it, since it's been the practice for as long as I've known.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Biden and Trump are traitors to America.
Imagine being shocked about the fact of greed, corruption, and abuse of power in government.
The media is a propaganda tool fueling the two parties hyperpartisanship and killing the country, it's time to end the "freedom of the press"
Violence against the government is and should be accepted by the people, especially when said government wants to and is actively stripping away your constitutional rights.

Yeah, best to wait until 100% reporting before drawing comparisons in individual counties. There are different tranches of ballots with different characteristics.

Trump basically needs all the swing states and also to flip either pennsylvania or michigan, similar to the last election in that respect.

If Biden wins any of the swing states here:

Arizona
Georgia
Florida
North Carolina
Ohio
Iowa

It's basically over.

If Trump flips both pennsylvania and michigan, he can lose one of the above.

He accomplished this last time, but this time is not looking so good for him.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Most rural counties are blank

When you say "good" where are you looking?

I repeat from earlier: all of the cities with exception of Cincinnati are over-half counted.

Rural areas either havent started or under 25% reported.


A big city is diverse politically, so half the votes counted may not be from every area of the city.
