The MSM will start calling east coast elections ASAP when democrats win.

Conversly they will say Republican wins continue to be "too close to call"

Thus the democrats will be said to "seem have grabbed "X" chamber" for a time in order to encourage the western democrats and demoralize the republicans.

The MSM has the electin day spin book down to an art.

Perhaps we should have a "call clock" on how fast the MSM calls each election.

Yes. Just like in 2000, we need to correlate time to call vs. party affiliation, vs. margin of victory.

Just like in 2000, we'll see the MSM calling Democrat victories by less than 2% margin within minutes of polls closing, while waiting 30 minutes or more for Republican victories of 10% or more.
