Anyone see a problem with the AP calling the election for Biden?

Asked by JLeslie (65448points) November 8th, 2020 from iPhone

I guess the AP called it when it became apparent Biden won Pennsylvania. It looks like Trump can legitimately ask for a recount there if he wanted to since the vote was so close. Or, am I wrong about that? Is the spread more than .5%?

Why not wait until Trump decides whether he was going to or not? Did he announce he wouldn’t?

Republicans are claiming the media is stealing the election.

Would it have been better for the media to wait considering the situation in the country today.

Close your eyes and imagine you are on the other side of it? Would just waiting a few more days been more prudent? Or, wait for it all to be more official?

The AP and Fox News has been calling states before MSNBC and CNN since Election Day. Arizona was called by AP and Fox days ago, but MSNBC right now, Nov 8 at 4:40am, still isn’t calling Arizona, they say too close to call.
