NYT just called Kentucky for Trump and Indiana's governor race for the GOP incumbent.

I got surprised by that too.

16% counted and called? That's.. weird. Maybe it's normal or something, but to me as a non-american, that's weird.

It's normal. US news institutions really are a bit unprofessional in calling them early, but basically if polls show a massive lead in a race and election results are matching it, they'll call it based on a 98% confidence level or something like that.



Well 54 to 46 with 16% counted doesn't seem like an insurmountable lead to me. According to the politico map anyway.

Just.. weird, but i guess, if it's normal, who am i to say that.



Indiana has a stupid lead supposedly, bigger than Kentucky, and it hasn't been called.

Neither state is currently reflecting the lead that trump will end up with, and I believe that the more favorable mail-in votes for Biden were already counted in Kentucky (hence why he was ahead).

I'm surprised Virginia hasn't been called for Biden yet.

Apparently Fox called Virginia for Biden? That would be a good sign for Biden because Clinton got Virginia called for her very late.


While I think there's some value to extrapolating the timing of these states being called, in comparison to 2016, I don't know how predictive it will be for the actual swing states. I still think we have an hour before learning anything truly significant about the states that will actually decide the election.

Florida will supposedly report a massive chunk of their vote in the next 15 minutes, which could pretty much decide the election right then and there.

NYT called VT for Biden with 0 votes reported at 7pm EST. If you are going to call the winner with 0 votes reported, you may as well call the state 2 months before elections ^^


That's hilarious, although to be fair, more than half of the 50 states could be called even before Election Day lol

Biden is going to somehow win Wyoming to prove this wrong.

It's normal.

It's based on which vote totals have been reported (their demographics, which areas are left to tally still, etc.).

There's an actual method to it, but I'm not that good at explaining it.


So, just for me to understand - with, lets say, 16 out of 100 votes counted, there's no way that the outcome could change?

I honestly seem to be missing something essential here (very possible), but for some random foreigner who's following the election, that seems awfully weird.

Let’s say we’re playing a bo100 chess series and I win the first 16 games easily. It’s pretty clear how the series is going by that point.

Which one? NYT or ABC? ABC still hasn't called any presidential races, just congressional ones.

NYT I was basing it off this quote:

Dean Baquet explains our ‘extraordinarily cautious’ election night approach on The Daily.


But yeah, not as cautious as the major networks... who got burned bad by 2000.


KY also counts votes very fast, which I think sets it apart from IN.

That's bad for Biden in Miami-Dade.

It signifies that Biden's lead was so great from the data they have that there was no doubt he'd win the state.

As Flash pointed out earlier, in 2016 they did that with Indiana. This time they had to wait 16% to do that in Indiana. This shows that Trump's lead is less severe than it was then, or that Biden's lead is in Vermont.

Because Indiana didnt have its urban areas counted yet. Indianapolis specifically. In fact, some lean Trump counties right now with 50% reporting are actually in favor of biden or 50/50. See: Delaware county and Hamilton county.

It's very likely, but not certain. Trump could technically hold all his other states from 2016 and still win.
