10. The concern is not the networks calling the election prematurely

but more Trump calling it prematurely, which of course, isn't the final authoritative word on the matter either but him calling it for himself early and then losing later is going to create chaos and drama with his supporters. Now, that still doesn't really mean anything because it will be states counting votes and calling their own elections, so Trump has no real sway there either. It will just be him causing a lot of unnecessary drama and chaos if Biden wins. He's not going to be able to actually cling to power and doesn't even have popular support.
