Where are the fucking NUMBERS/PERCENTAGES? .. on races "too close to call"???????

This is maddening. It's not like the M$M don't have numbers/percentages, they do
and are fucking hiding them behind non-stop yammering, just saying "those races are
too close to call"..

and they have the audacity to call themselves "journalists".

Whether it's now or in the morning.

12 hours isn't going to kill anybody over this.

that's why it's so maddening. when polls close, there have always been numbers/percentages to
show exactly where things stand so far. which is esp. important if it's 'too close to call'

But numbers are coming in now, so it's all good.
