How long would this race take to call?

[SnowLabrador]

In the Texas Senate race, how long, with these potential outcomes, would the race take to call once polls close at 8 PM Eastern, or 9 PM Eastern for Mountain time?

Scenario A: Cruz wins 52-46

Scenario B: Cruz wins 50-47

Scenario C: O'Rourke wins 49-48

[Politician]

Wulfric will call it as soon as King County comes in

Wulfric Projection: Texas Senate

Ted Cruz
90%

Beto O'Rourke
10%

<1% of precincts reporting

Scenario A, probably called by 11pm Eastern if not earlier. Scenario B, called by midnight Eastern. Scenario C, probably not called until the next day or later because a 1% margin is at least somewhat subject to late absentees, provisionals, etc.

[IceSpear]

Scenario A: About an hour
Scenario B: 2-3 hours
Scenario C: Not on election night, could take days/weeks depending on how rounded those numbers are

These are just educated guesses though, I'm not actually sure how fast TX counts their votes.

When Trump won by 9, it took about an hour or two after closing to call it iirc. So probably 2-3 for the first, around midnight or a little after for the second, and late / next morning for the third (assuming it is a clean 1% victory and not a nail biter .5% or something that might be subject to recounts).
