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?

I agree with Brucejoel99's answer, and why would that scenario be impossible? Today's political climate includes the fact that Trump's approval rating is constantly underwater. RCP has him at 44.6% approval and 52.6% disapproval. I say Trump could lose by a landslide.

Oh, I agree that it is not impossible that the Dems win a landslide. However, even in a landslide, I doubt that FL, GA, NC, OH and IA would be called before the polls close on the west coast.
