Calling the States

Wait, what? NYT is giving Trump the edge and Fox gives it to Biden? This is bizarro world!

NC is pretty important to Trump...

[Loki]

It’s effectively over for Trump

[jon-nyc]

I wouldn’t say that. The NYT needle is based on really detailed analysis of county results.

I’m in no position to judge if they’re any better or worse than Fox but when they’re this far apart I’ll reserve judgment

Yeah, I was shocked to see that difference.

[Loki]

NYT is performing very well.

North Carolina is the firewall. Another surprise or two will come.

Biden is winning everywhere in terms of outperforming 2016 with the exception of one county in Florida.

[LuFins Dad]

Yeah, both RCP and Fox show 95% of Loudoun County results are in, NYT showed 35%, that seems a lot more accurate.

This is the fun part of the night. Anyone else find this super entertaining? (Divorcing the drama of it from your preferences)

[LuFins Dad]

Ok, Fox is following suit on NC. I think the NYT just became my go to for the evening.

[jon-nyc]

NYT:

FOX:

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

[jon-nyc]

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.

[Copper]

That's enough, I'm going to bed.

[Loki]

I’m surprised In the moment

[jon-nyc]

I'm calling it for Trump.
