Could someone please explain how they are able to call states when only 20% of the results are in? Is it some ratio used?

Overwhelming exit poll advantage. Which may not prove to be that accurate in this election, but it has to be a huge advantage to call with as unreliable as exit polls were in 2004 I would imagine.

To all those watching in Detroit.... Tim Kiska on channel 7 was my college professor and is a brilliant man!

I'm nervous. Michigan is closed and still hasn't shown any results.
