The most beautiful thing about this is the networks won't be able to put off calling a state to increase the horse race narrative on election night unless they engage in illegal collusion.
So when it's clear, they have to call it or risk losing viewers switching over to channels that are calling them.

Look at Willard's numbers next weekend...if he's not over 45% in the battleground states, he's toast. If he loses New Hampshire and Virginia, the problems could compound. Remember those polls close while others out west are still open and if Willard appears to be losing early it could have an effect on the polls in places like Colorado, Iowa and even Arizona.
