Fox has been under fire all night for their VERY early call on Arizona. And since then a lot has gone down across the country. But what’s happening in Wisconsin or Pennsylvania doesn’t change Arizona. Which is NOT over.
In fact, Trump still thinks it will be a win, despite all the networks handing it to Biden after Fox broke the ice.
On a conference call earlier this morning, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said when all the votes are counted in Arizona, Trump will win by 25,000-30,000 votes.
Since Fox News inexplicably called the state for Biden last night, Trump has cut Biden's margin in half.

And they might be right. At least, a Phoenix-based analytics and survey research firm thinks so.
Data Orbital, a data analytics and survey research firm based in Arizona’s capital, is predicting that a number of outstanding ballots across the state will give Trump the edge over Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Arizona’s 11 electoral votes may be the deciding factor for whichever candidate wins the election.
This follows news that the Daily Wire posted this morning about a major error that led many news outlets to think the race was more completely counted than it actually was.
Edison Research data, which major news organizations including The New York Times utilize to report voting results, reported that 98% of precincts in Arizona had been counted when in fact only 86% had been counted.
Even NYT admits it.
An error was found in the data feed from Edison Research (used by @nytimes and other news organizations) for Arizona results — 86 percent of ballots have been counted, not 98 percent. NYT has not called the state for Biden, though he still leads. https://t.co/mPDkiKsExQ

The latest plot twist comes from Arizona, which had reportedly counted 95%+ of its votes. NYT notes that "due to an error in an Edison Research data feed of results … the actual estimate is that 86% of the vote has been counted."

It’s NOT over. The Dems keep saying “count every vote” and “don’t say won if you haven’t” … but they’re not counting every vote and they are saying they won when they haven’t.
Biden may very well win Arizona. But he hasn’t yet. Saying he has is irresponsible. And when Trump does it they flip out.
