Some news channels award the states before the full count has been completed according to the number of ballots counted and those remaining with a high probability the current loser will not be able to surmount a revival or comeback but other news channels operate in a different way. I have watched several news channels, one right now shows Biden on 264 and another shows him on 253 but both shows Trump on 214.
I've been wondering for a while why they keep giving intermediate results while counting. Why's that?
It's as if they're counting how many more votes they have left to count, and then for each newly counted vote publish the new totals. Why don't they just wait until they're done counting, and publish only the final total?
It now seems like they're asking for attention for days, while they have no final data to publish.
discussing the election itself is on topic.
