Can someone smarter than me explain to me (election)
Nov 3, 2020, 7:13 PM

watching news channel and they're saying certain states have been called with a winner but also says like "IN:16%"
Am I missing something? how are they calling states if that low of a percentage of votes are in?

I understand that, but when they say, on election night, that a state has been called for one candidate over the other that makes it sound official.

It's quite simple; Don't watch any of the coverage, or read anything into the polls. The winner will be "The Lesser of Two Evils".

Looks like Biden will win in a squeaker. Trump will say he was ripped off. Biden will end up as president. Trump will create chaos until the day he dies. The next 4 years will be a mess.

The past 4 yrs indicate that a Trump victory will not be accepted by the Dems.***
