Statistical Sillyness

I love when the T.V. stations declare a winner in an election then show the current results of precincts reporting and the “declared winner” has less votes. I know that is based on which precincts are reporting and exit poll data, but it is still silly to see. It would be like a baseball game where the Red Sox were losing to Baltimore 3-1 in the fifth inning and then the T.V. announcers came on and declare the Red Sox the winner of the game.
