Dammit, stop with the they should call it stuff! [View all]

First of all there is still a statistical possibility this doesn't work out for Joe, however small, it's there and it's 2020.

Second, in John Kings words, let them count the damn vote!

Knock it off. The more solid votes we get the stronger the public perception of a win. On the outside chance they do a Dewey Defeats Truman by calling it and something nuts happens it will do nothing but reinforce the crazies allegations that our election system is falsely fucked. And probably destroy our vote forever. There's too much at stake to even take a 1% chance of being wrong.
