What aggravated me election night was a pattern that developed somewhat early:
One newsie would call a state for Trump, but the other newsies would delay hours before calling that state. Thus, Trump's total EV always seemed less than what it actually was. This was intentional on the part of the media in hopes that Clinton votes would come in to move the call to her column.
Even after it was mathematically impossible for Clinton to win some states, the media would not call them for Trump.
The same kind of delay seems to be going on with the popular vote. They show Clinton slightly ahead, and updates slow to a crawl. That feeds into the anti-Electoral College rants.
I couldn’t believe they wouldn’t call Florida until the west coast states of CA, OR, and WA could be called for Clinton, without one vote being counted in any of those states so the totals could both be over 200.
