Recounts do not change results with something like 99% probability, particularly results with large enough margins like these. Therefore, it is reasonable to determine with high probability what the final electoral results will be from the "preliminary" count of votes. Again, not only are the margins within each individual state large enough to make it improbable to overturn, the margins of the predicted electoral votes are large enough as well, even in the unlikely event that an individual state is somehow overturned. This is not even remotely close to Bush v. Gore in 2000.
Your objections seem overly pedantic, to be honest.

- cycrutchfield 6y agoWhich isn't going to happen here, despite your fervent prayers.
- nailer 6y agoI agree with every single point in your first paragraph. But it's dangerous to present the media as being an official source of election results.
