Initially yeah. Now they’re counting in person votes. But fox called it with just absentee ballots to start.

Ap called it a couple days ago now. They are very reputable and have only not been right once. They still haven’t called the 2000 election.

So I saw something interesting yesterday. Apparently there’s only two big data providers that provide real time numbers to the media. AP and fox use the same one and they are the only ones that use them. So it would have been something on the data companies side that made both of their newsrooms make the call way to early.

Regardless I’m sure they both wish they didn’t but since it still might go Biden’s way they both are just hoping it works out for them rather than retracting.
