Did you think the Mormons were going blue?
They should at least actually count the votes before calling the election. That's what democracy is.
I mean, the projected winner maps aren't the US government's decision, it's what whatever news your watching has modelled as settled with an acceptable margin of error based on current information. Realistically they could have called most of the states months ago with that same error, some organizations just veil it more
No, there's no need here. I'm sure they have some votes counted, but they have a model and if the votes match the model they can, with pretty good confidence, call it early. There wasn't a chance here really and when they see the votes start going the predicted direction they know nothing crazy happened to flip it.
I voted Harris in Utah. I had been trying to convince everyone I could that she was a better option than being complicit in Trump taking office again, and of roughly 12 people I was working on, I think I might have convinced a single person to swing to Harris, the rest went with Chase Oliver or wrote in someone they knew. 🙄
What are you talking about? They went for Johnson in '64!
This is why you should rely on the AP for election results.
AP also showed some states red or blue with no vote tallies. Notably, at 11pm EST, California turned solid blue immediately on the AP map, surprising no one.
You don't have to flip a trick coin to call the outcome.
