I didn't like it when they did it in favor of the Republicans and I don't like it when they do it in favor of us. It's fucking suspicious as far as I'm concerned.

2. It's based on exit polls...

which are much more representative than the 2% being "officially" reported.

If the polls are outside the margin of error, then they feel free to call the race based on the initial results.
