Wow, that's pretty amazing- it seems like the second the polls closed, the networks already declared a winner in the race. It's pretty amazing that they could count all those votes so fast that they'd know the second the polls closed who won.

Oh, that's right, it's done through polling, not by actual vote counting. And it's pretty accurate too. I mean, it's not like the news organizations have ever called an election one way only to find out that it's gone another way.
