Reply to comment by billfriedman9987 in No, Pennsylvania didn’t send 255K ballots to ‘unverified’ voters by krabstarr

Through American history, the news networks calling an election reflected their predictions, not total counts. Just like Fox called Arizona for Biden before they finished counting, they used a combination of precincts reported, their own exit polls, and math to figure out who won before the official count was in.

I think we all have to admit, the amount of votes tallied after polls closed were more than we've ever seen before, especially in WI, MI, PA, and AZ. We're talking swings of close to a half a million votes in some cases.

We would also have to admit that in Pennsylvania that happened because Republicans wrote the legislation forbidding the count of mail-in ballots until after polls close, not because of any chicanery on the part of election administrators.
