Sorry if it has been asked before, but, in case of a landslide (Let's say, a Democratic candidate decisevely win VA, CO, MI, PA, WI, MN, FL, NC, GA, OH, IA, NH thus reaching 270 electoral votes before the polls close in CA, NV, WA and OR close) (I know that scenario is impossible in today's climate, but let's pretend it could happen), would they wait until the polls have closed on the west coast before announcing the winner in the tipping point state?
The actual tipping point =/= the tipping point as called by networks.
In the past decade:
2008: Obama won precisely as the polls closed at 11 on the West Coast...but Colorado was still going.
2012: Obama was re-elected officially with Ohio, but Ohio still ended being closer than once again, Colorado
2016: The networks called it to Trump with Pennsylvania, after Wisconsin was called...this is because Arizona and Michigan were still going.
