or the votes that are being counted freaking TV news could wait till a majority of the results are in. This kind of projection/calling so early with so little results actually in just shows people on the losing side their votes don't matter that's a great moral boost to the BS line that every vote matters and so on.

The exit data are not accurate.

Let's wait for the official result, PEOPLE.

That's good, since Romney is leading in Ohio and Virginia, but Obama is leading in North Carolina. Obviously none of this makes any sense. lol

May be a long night.
