He doesnt have to have a lead in PA or anywhere else to call it. They call races all of the time with candidates trailing and small percentages in based on math. Everyone can see where its going in PA. There is zero chance Biden doesn't win it. The mail in ballots they are counting are coming from pools with established percentages. They already know the results. So what are the decision desks waiting for?

(155 posts)They don't understand statistics. They are already saying the networks knew what was going to happen before it happened and therefore they must have rigged it.

(17,003 posts)they call it wrong. Plus, once all the votes are counted they can close the voting centers. If they call it when the centers are still open can you imagine all the Trumpsters showing up there and causing problems? As infuriating as this is, I can understand why.
