they should only call it when there is zero mathematical possibility of any other result. Until that is solid, it is best to be 100% mathematically impossible for the dark orange thing to prevail.

Dotard’s goons would be fired up claiming nation wide fraud. Violence would for sure follow

If the amount of outstanding, uncounted votes, is less than the margin that could give *rump victory, that is what i mean by mathematically impossible for the orange one to win.

the recount, and not announcing the results until certification:

Nate Cohn, in New York 2:10 PM ET

Don’t expect a call soon on Georgia. It’s tight, and the secretary of state said there would be a recount. This one might not be called until the results are certified. See Georgia results ›

because they don't want to add to the fraught atmosphere in case they're wrong. I don't believe it's for ratings, I believe it's because of the conflicting info, shifting numbers, and lawsuit shit from the various SOS's and county election officials.

in a way this is all for ratings, they want a horserace and a nail biter. The votes need to be counted, because tRump is an asshole he will throw a hissy fit as usual.

Are we working as poll workers??? We see them working their asses off.

Breathe everyone please.
