It doesn't surprise me that you can't see how calling a state and the whole election before a close race is totally counted is as negligent as calling a state before the polls are closed.
The networks called it at 10 minutes before the polls closed, was there going to be a rush of Republicans to the voting booths at that time? And anyone stupid enough to not bother voting because of what they heard on TV shouldn't be voting anyway...you must have a lot of relatives in Florida.
Every single network calls states before all the votes are counted. So you are complaining about a ******* constant. And ******** about Fox doing it only, which is rich.
And and isn't the same, and you claiming it is, is ******* pathetic.
So calling a state 11 minutes before the polls close doesn't influence anything? Because all you have to be is in line at the time the polls officially close. They don't make you get out of line. So, yes, it is a big ******* deal, again, YOU DUMB ******* *****.
Why don't you think things through before exposing us to your garbage. Again we can go back to exit polls, which are pretty accurate. How many times in the past have you seen a network call a state before the polls were closed and have to reverse their announcement? Very rare, yet they did that with Florida in 2000, because it was looking to be headed for a full recount. Then Bush's cousin calls it for Dubya when it was obviously going to be a recount especially with heavy Democrat precincts still out. You don't think that had an effect on public opinion, media commentators, etc.? Because the outrage from the Republicans was nasty the few days after. That was a big part of the mess of Florida recount saga.
If you think the networks are influencing voters by calling a state 10 minutes before closing time (and I can't make this point more clearer to a bonehead like you) is bigger than what FOX did in 2000, you're pretty damn stupid.
Go ahead and reply with more name calling - that's probably the only joy in your pathetic little life. I can keep posting about this for as long as you want, it really gives me a laugh to see you get so hot and bothered by it. You, Dougie, Swamp are insecure about the fact that smart people don't buy the Supreme Court stepping in over their bounds and giving Bush the White House - because he didn't win it by the will of the people.
