Nevada should be called. Why is the MSM hesitating?

[Tommymac]

They called Virginia and Hawaii with 0% cast becasue they knew that the past trends were that the Dem areas in those states dominated. There was no question, via statistics, that those votes would favor Democratic candidates.

In Nevada the ONLY votes left are in a county where mail-in ballots historically break 2-1 Democratic. and they have processed enough of those to se that they are in actuality breaking 2-1 for Joe. 15,000 out of 75,00 - reality is reflecting the statistical model.

The numbers are there. The history is there, The stats are there. The good sample of reality is there.

Just like VA and HI.

Call the gawddamn thing and let The People get on with Building Back Better. Time is a wastin'.

1. My theory: No state wants to be the one putting Biden over the top

They would incur the most wrath from mf45. If they call at the remaining states at the same time, however, it may soften the blow.

I know - crazy theory LOL

[Happy Hoosier]

2. Because the AZ call.....

... means calling NV for Biden means he wins. The AZ call is precarious. So no one wants to declare Biden the winner (IMO)

[sboatcar]

10. It also means once he's won people will stop being so glued to the news

That means less ad revenue.

[StarryNite]

19. That makes sense.

Particularly because AZ does not yet have a 'firm' call and what if we can't hold on? I think it's safer to wait until AZ is a definite or Pennsylvania gets called for Biden.

[Happy Hoosier]

25. Agreed...

I think a lot of them feel confident in a Biden victory in PA, and will make the calls then.

[TwilightZone]

3. Not all of the remaining ballots are from Clark County.

There are about 60k provisional ballots, which Jon Ralston says will probably split about evenly.

That's still advantage Biden since he's ahead, but since they're from varied locations, outlets are probably hesitant to call the race.

Edit: embarrassing typo

[Tommymac]

13. Maricopa County is in AZ not Nevada. Not relevant to this topic.

[TwilightZone]

16. Duh.

Sorry, I really need to stop having multiple threads open at the same time.

Either that, or Jon Ralston just became an expert on AZ politics. Or something.

Thanks.

[USALiberal]

4. Provide your proof. Nt

[Srkdqltr]

5. Maybe they want to be absolutely sure so people won't freak if they are wrong.

[Srkdqltr]

6. You all pushing for hurry hurry hurry would be the first to loose your minds if they are wrong.

[MoonlitKnight]

9. Nope

The networks call FL for Bush in 2000. That greatly contributed to the shenanigans that ensued to hold up his “win”.

They need to make the call.

[Tommymac]

14. THIS!!!! nt

[xmas74]

7. Because Joe Gloria stated

Clark County won't be ready to call until this weekend.

[Wellstone ruled]

11. Joe is going to determine this.

He seems to have placed himself smack square in front of the SOS and her Political White House friends.

Not to forget,the SOS and Laxalt who is Trump's State Reelection Chair person,as well as McDonald whom is the Nevada GOP Chair Person,are looking for any reason to invalidate Joe Gloria's work.

Keep the faith,we Dems here in Vegas got this.

[xmas74]

31. He seems like a decent guy.

He was pretty brief, blunt, stated facts, stated they wanted to get it right and didn't really step around it.

I feel like I could trust him.

[Wellstone ruled]

32. So sad that the Trump Clown Bus showed

up this morning with all his Dregs and Has Ben Actors auditioning for their room on the Strip.

[Tommymac]

20. Not asking Nevada to call. The Media Call is a different thing totally.

Thier models HAVE to show Nevada will go Blue. Just like VA or HI.

Networks called FLA in 2000 in a similair situation.

Networks called VA and HI in 2020 in the same type situation.

In the long run their inconsistencies leads to the lack of public trust that we see everywhere today.

The Media Cartels best beware - the chickens will come home to roost and their profits will suffer in the ling run.

50% of the people in this country are not stupid.

[xmas74]

30. Why on earth would they call?

The votes are close, polls have been iffy and they don't want to take something back. Besides, the ratings are good.

I wouldn't call if it was me.

[Amishman]

8. Same reason as all the other stupid shit they do... ratings

[samnsara]

12. maybe they are giving PA time to finish as Joes homestate would put him over the top

[Tommymac]

29. Never thought of that. Good Point.

Thanks!

I had heard PA would not be called until tomorrow - but now it sounds like they may do something tonight.

I know you won't believe it but I live in Allegheny County, PA. I can really be Duh.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

15. Here's what Nevada looks like, with an estimated 87 percent of votes counted

17. A network calling a race has no legal standing. I can wait.

[Tommymac]

22. The PUBLIC Perception is way more important.

The longer these states sit out there the more the Public will grow distrustful of the results.

Just how it is.

[StarfishSaver]

27. Public perception is important. And if the network gets it wrong, it's a major mess

I have no problem with them being careful and waiting. The only people who seem upset that they haven't called it are people who want Biden declared the winner - and I don't think any of us are feeling like the results can't be trusted if the networks wait to have more information before calling it.

Some people waited in line for hours to vote. We can wait a day or two to get the results.

[GopherGal]

26. And the real legal standing doesn't happen until Dec 14

It's only official when the Electoral College votes.

[Totally Tunsie]

18. What's the rush?

Better to be accurate than quick. If NV declared him this very moment, it still wouldn't end the deliberations or the count, so wouldn't change anything as yet. Let all the states finish their counts and make their final announcements as determined.

[lame54]

21. Here is why...

[Tommymac]

23. Nice

[DFW]

24. The MSM is probably hesitating (and of so, rightly) to wait for a Wisconsin-like situation

When Wisconsin said "all votes have been counted, and Biden wins," there was no dispute left that would hold water. If the Trumpanzees want to sue for a greater share of 0%, we can't stop them, but luck arguing THAT before a judge, and good luck to their lawyers' accountants who try to get their billable hours paid.

Making America Grimace Again. It should be routine by now.

[Brainfodder]

28. They know we are done with them FOR AWHILE once this is called?
