I forget the media protocol here. Do they wait for all polls to close in all states? Or do they report it as soon as it comes in? It seems like it would be pretty frustrating to be waiting in line at the polls tonight on the west coast just to find out the election was already called.

Nevermind I see some results are already coming in.

You have to give them time to change some of the votes, stuff ballot boxes, miscount, etc.

Damn Shame. The Midwest is still voting and so is the Pacific time zone and Hawaii–Aleutian Time. Damn Shame.
