    It must be called by 2 of the 3 news networks, CNN, MSNBC or FOX News.

    I think the election will be called on Election Day. It’s razor close, but I feel one way or the other, it’ll be called on election night by 2 of 3 of the networks.

    I think we are waiting on the results in PA, NV, WI, and MI and those are all going to take a couple days so Thursday.

    Last year Pennsylvania was called during the infamous Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference around 10am eastern (as I recall).

    Pennsylvania is prepared to go faster this year getting most mail in votes counted by midnight.

    I predict a much more organized count in all states and a 3am Wednesday call after Pennsylvania is called for...

    The Collusion News Network will need to investigate.

    I would note that the network to which you are referring didn't agree to settle a defamation lawsuit for close to $800 million unlike another network that also has "News" in its name.

    With some of the turn out data, and early voting polls, I think Harris has a decent chance to win on election day. But I hedged and went with Wed. before midnight.

    I'll go with midnight on election night. Philly likes to drag their feet on vote counting and it'll be too close to call until then. AZ will take days, so they can't project the race without being solid on PA and MI.

    Not before midnight, as all networks will be cautious. Beyond that is hard to tell. I guess it depends on how close the election may or may not be.

    With so many states not allowed to count pre-election day ballots until the polls close--it will take a couple of days to get through them all. Thursday.
