You talking about Maryland?? That didn't make sense to me either. The numbers don't match.

With only 1% of precincts reporting, no less! When they did that, I turned Fox off for the night. I'm listening to Hugh Hewitt's coverage right now. Mark Steyn is on next. It's KRLA 870 AM.

Because they are projecting based on what precincts' results have come in... If they realize that the remaining precincts are so heavily against the candidate that the 10% lead likely won't be enough to overcome later votes, then they predict the loss.
