3. It will depend on Florida

The other battleground states will struggle to count early votes in time to decide on election night, but Florida, surprisingly, has a long history of quickly counting mail in votes.

If that holds, and if Biden wins, then Trump can win WI and MI and PA and OH and still lose provided Biden just wins AZ (or any one of those other four states).

Networks may not call it in that scenario, but the odds are that if Biden is declared the winner of Florida, every network is basically going to spend the night talking about how hard it will be for Trump to overcome that.

And Trump won't be able to claim fraud in Florida credibly after he spent so much time hyping them out as doing good at mail in voting.

If Florida goes Trump, or is a toss-up, then I think yeah, we won't see any overall calls until the next day, at the earliest.
