saw the news and decided not to bother? I thought this was decided before, not to call elections until at least after the polls close.
Another way to suppress votes! No surprise the Corporate Media would be complicit though.

Unless you've got 200,000 people in line to vote, it doesn't make up the margins. In any event, those people standing in line weren't at home watching the race being called on TV.

the ground watching the polls, reported after the MSM called the election, that people were still voting.
