njsykora posted:It's still extremely weird to me when I see election results declared with less than 10% of the vote having actually been counted. Huh? Why is that weird? A) it's usually 10% of precincts that have reported votes, and B) you can pretty reliably call results when your statistical model is trending close to reality.

njsykora posted:It completely goes against the way I understand elections to work, where in the UK the result is only announced once every single vote in a constituency has been counted so they can announce the exact numbers with the declaration. It's not the government doing the "calling" at that point, though, it's the media. Does the UK not do precinct-by-precinct/county-by-county results as votes are counted? What's happening when a media outlet "calls" a race after the state closes its polls and with 10% or whatever precincts, which average like 500-2500 voters each depending on the state, have reported their official tally. This all usually occurs a decent while after all the polls in a given time one are closed, and it's not legally official until every vote is counted (which might not be for days if the state is waiting on absentee/mail ballots). Edit: As I'm posting this I'm wondering if you think 10% reporting means 10% of votes were cast?
