the election is called the night of, or the early morning of the next. not weeks later.

You're about to see some crazy shit when Fox News calls the election, and every other mainstream media outlet doesn't.

Watch Bloomberg & CNN call no more than 25 states by midnight.

MSNBC will call entirely different states.

I'm willing to bet that MSNBC or the like will straight up call a state blue, while Fox News calls it red. Fox will make a projection based on the fact that the state's votes have been counted and are reporting in physically, meanwhile MSNBC will basically predict that the state will go blue because the remaining mail-in ballots will "obviously go to Biden".
