Clearly you disagree with the methodology used by decision desks, however, what /u/stu2b50 said is absolutely the way they have worked in real life for many years. The purpose of a decision desk is to project who will win each election as soon as possible using all available data. They don't need all the votes to be in if they believe the remaining votes skew towards a particular candidate based on polling. Of course, in the end it is the votes that decide who wins not the decision desks, but most often there is no difference between the two outcomes.
