Ted Cruz ahead 50.9% to 48.5% O'Rourke. Lots of votes left still to count.

1. It's done. Cruz called. Very disappointing.

[FBaggins]

2. ABC already called it for Cruz

[El Supremo]

3. NBC just called it for Cruz

SHIT!

[cos dem]

4. ABC can "call" all they want.

That doesn't make it over. It means they think it's over.
Don't know why people get so wrapped up in someone "calling it". I guess it comes from hospital shows.

6. I hardly ever see a race called, changed.

[Revanchist]

8. Except, you know, 2000

[Wintryjade]

9. Hence the word, hardly ever. Almost, never.

[musicblind]

11. So one time out of forever.

And after that debacle, the methodology for calling races changed.

Also, they DID call FL right the first time... just saying.

[cos dem]

10. Famously happened in FL in 2000

Agreed it doesn't happen often. Agreed the news is not good. Just trying to draw the line between what a news pundit says and actual, official election results.

[Wintryjade]

12. It would make my day to jump back into this thread and tell you all that you are absolutely right.

Media wrong, and Beto wins. I am good with that.

[Wintryjade]

5. That is close for a Dem in Texas.

[JCMach1]

7. Way too early to call this...

[DesertRat]

13. MSNBC has called it for Cruz

[Honeycombe8]

14. It's 51.4% to 47.9%. Maybe it'll end up close enough for a recount? nt

[applegrove]

15. No. CNN called it for Cruz.
