The guy that made this call and keeps defending it is a registered democrat.

It's highly improbable that Trump makes up the difference in that state with the counties left to be counted.

that Trump isn't winning by a landslide. They're going to find out sooner or later, and may take it out on Fox even worse if Fox lies and says he is than if Fox lets them know Trump may not win.

just because one batch was 59 doesn't mean that's the average...and unless they see several more batches that level or higher, Trump doesn't have a chance, because if even one substantial batch comes in at say Trump plus 40, that's just that much more he has to win the remaining batches.

Right now, we simply have incomplete information, and nothing to suggest they should rescind their call.

Admitting a mistake is a big no-no.

AZ is close enough for them to roll the dice.
