There was a congressional hearing for reps from major media networks in January 2001, and, if I remember correctly, I don't believe ANY station will be calling a state before the polls close. There is no good argument for calling a state before the polls close. Let everyone vote who wants to vote, THEN call it. God forbid the people should have to wait an extra 20 minutes to find out who won.
