Fox News Channel just mentioned that some outlets just switched VA back to a tossup, but they were sticking by their exit surveys... Does anybody know which outlet switched VA?

[jon-nyc]

Nope

By the way, NYT is only doing its needles on those three states. There’s an explainer that says why the others will be too hard to predict from preliminary results.

Nate Silver is getting a little belligerent on Twitter

[Larry]

Ok, I don't understand this... in Virginia, it's Trump 53%, Biden 45% but it calls it for Biden....
