There must be another reason why they're not calling it.

Starting to seem strange...Not being Conspiracy Theorist or anything but really. Does this have anything to do with the post office, missing ballots?provisional ballots? Provisional voting? Wat could it be?

I mean, it makes sense to count all the votes, but I wonder if they're worried about violence from numnut's followers.

I'm not sure it's limited to just the media. All the states seem to be moving very slowly. In every election, there are tons of incomplete votes, but PA alone should be enough to call it for Joe.

time so there can be no doubt and also let the news out at 4:30 am eastern time while the masses will be sleeping and the law can prepare for the clustertrump that his "army" has planned when they wake up.

Votes are NEVER completely counted when elections are called. They are placating baby Hitler and we all know it. This is ridiculous. They depend on the ratings and their cash cow is about to dry up. 😡

Before an election is called. Nobody was this careful four years ago and some states were even closer than what we're seeing now. This is ridiculous.

additionally, no one wants another tantrum from the fat baby with the nuclear missiles. and calling too soon will simply give the bedbug family another place to lay their eggs.

Concerned about calling states early. We wanted all of the mailed votes counted to be sure.

Nothing worse that that awful nightmare of Florida 2000 where Florida was called for Gore, then retracted, then called for Bush, then retracted again.
