Fox News was the first major outlet on election night that called Arizona for Joe Biden, setting off some fury among Team Trump, which as of this posting has been saying the call was premature. Even the governor of Arizona argued its too early to make a call.
Fox News politics editor Chris Stirewalt as well as Decision Desk head Arnon Mishkin appeared on the network to defend the Arizona call amid the great skepticism. Im sorry, were not wrong, Mishkin said.
But that skepticism was echoed by Foxs own Tucker Carlson.
Bret Baier noted the Team Trump pushback and said his phone is lighting up with Republicans saying its too early a call.
There has been a great deal of pushback from the president, his staff, the governor of Arizona, Carlson said. Im not privy to the math, Im not certain how that even after the explanation from Chris Stirewalt how that decision was made, so Im sure theres a reason for it. I dont know what it is. I know that people are very concerned about the media in general. I think our viewers trust us, but people are concerned.

Trump just lost lead in Wisconsin.
Milwaukee just dropped absentee ballots. Now Biden leads Wisconsin
Joe Biden
49.4%
1,579,258
Donald Trump
49.1%
1,570,489
There are some pro-Trump areas still counting, but may not be enough.
CNN has had a better “election results” coverage of the election compared to Fox.....All Capo Cavuto did was expound on his ego and not election information. CNN gave solid information backed up with data and color oriented displays.
Well, we knew all those absentee votes were going to be used to commit voter fraud.
Very bad news. If GA is off the table, the paths for Trump to 270 could be shrinking rapidly.
Except there were states sitting there with the same disparity except going the other way, and they wouldn’t call those. They didn’t want to call Indiana.
Watched Fox Business last night - Fox News was painful - Wallace, Stirewalt, Williams, Brazile....
The Fox News calling Arizona in 2020 is the same Fox News that let a deranged Shep Smith rant hysterically on the air about people eating each other in the Louisiana Superdome in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Give People a sharpie, instead of a ballpoint pen, then disqualify their ballots for not using a ballpoint pen.
FIveThirtyEight.com (Nate Silver’s site) says the remaining uncounted votes are all from Green Bay - I have no idea whether that’s Trump territory or not.

Check my math. Trump is currently up 680,000 votes in PA. If they have 1 million votes left to count, Biden would have to win them 84-16 to close the gap.

Pennsylvania has more than 1 million votes left to count, said Gov. Tom Wolf in a Twitter posting early Wednesday #Election2020
“I promised Pennsylvanians that we would count every vote and thats what were going to do,” Wolf said https://trib.al/Q86A9Xx
Shepherd Smith needs a frontal lobotomy. Plus more mascara. He’d look cute in a skirt.
Chuckle.
Last time I watched Chris Wallace was for the debate.
God willing, I never have to see that smirking, smarmy worm again ever.
Never watched Fox News last night.
It seems there are only a few counties with few votes reporting, mainly Kenosha and Brown counties.
