As some of you guys were saying, Dems were looking for more votes. Since Fox favored Trump, that's probably why they called it more quickly, but I have to say, Fox did manage to be (I believe) the first network to call the election for Trump.

For the same reason they took so long to call Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, Arizona, Missouri, etc. etc.

I was quite surprised that they called Montana at poll closing time, honestly.

I know Fox called Missouri early. I was actually quite surprised because I believed it would be closer than +18 for Trump.
