Even if networks call one or more remaining states,

They will still keep counting all of the votes that were properly mailed through election day. Just like everyone was demanding three days ago...

I would rather wait for all votes to be counted and confirmed than see a single state called for Biden but reversed by votes sent at the last minute.

And have not yet been delivered by the Post Office? Who will they trend towards?

The most delicious irony would be several thousand votes for Trump, postmarked November 3 and delivered on the 13th...

That gives them an idea of what still looms based on trends and probability. 10000 trump voters aren’t just gonna pop out of nowhere and appear.

Don't project. Report. State.

I've heard the analysts and the number crunchers. Run some music videos or get me some live footage about an earthquake in Asia or whatever, but get me a REPORTER when there's something to report.
