You are a more trusting soul than I am, brother!

I was smelling RATs all over the place last night. How the hell was AP able to call for McCornyn with barely 2% of the vote in?

I assume they did exit polls but I don’t know that.

Because the early vote totals are both a heavy proportion of the total and a reliable predictor of how Election Day votes will split.

Nothing sinister about it.

Exit polls. They do that all the time. I remember when they announced that Romney won Utah in the General and less than 1 percent of the votes were counted.
