This maybe a "dumb" question, but how does the media "call" states
for
a president when there are only 15% of votes in?  I do not understand
this.  Can't think of which state it was, but I saw CNN call the vote
with a margin of 10,000 votes, each candidate had about 120,000
total,
with only 15% of the votes in.  Early in the night I believe that I
saw a state called with 1% of votes in.  Am I missing something here?
Mathematically this doesn't make any sense to me.
