They called before that point but the day before it would've required the requiring areas to dramatically break from both nearby areas and historic trends dramatically. The increase in mail voting didn't help since networks didn't know exactly how it'd break down but they didn't really update based on knowledge of how the rest of the state etc was going.

Oh I agree with you, but there's a number of articles which discuss it. I was suggesting a reason why thats the case people do perceive it.

I found that weird and comforting since it waited until it was called by like CNN/ABC because people didn't want to get their hopes up even though it was clear from the day before at least

The bike lanes are so disconnected then dump cyclists back into the traffic that's killing pedestrians. But yeah not exactly caring about peds either

Had a crossing guard go off at someone who did that maneuver to me and my kid. Luckily I was expecting it so not near death but wtf. Like cars don't randomly stop at crosswalks

Yep. You'll be the case the police cite when they talk about how they've pulled over the riders
