Would be nice if Fox got the graphics right . . they have Florida polls closing at 7:00pm, not acknowledging the 8:00pm Panhandle being in the CST.

PATHETIC.

It is sad that it has come to this, but I think we need at least one more law regarding election coverage.

The media can't discuss any state, certainly not call a state, until all booths are closed.

This means the states with multiple time zones, the states where a judge has ordered booths open until 10 pm, even Alaska with both of its time zones. Even states where the change to DST does not happen.

Sure the media will get the numbers out to the side they want to win, but this craziness of calling FL or TN, when some of its citizens are eligible to vote, should be stopped.

Please note that the FEC/FCC already has such rules in place but they do not discuss this issue.
