Both have 128,000 votes or less below their opponent with only 83% counted and 394,521 more votes to be counted. What happens if the next couple of batches that come in are fairing well for the GOP. Can they still win even if it's been called. Sorry I'm Canadian, I'm learning exactly how these things work
No, you're correct. The AP is lying. There are still over 300k votes to count from mostly REPUBLICAN areas. The election officials are selectively picking the democrat votes and withholding Republican ones.
Did they call the race or are they projecting a win for Kelly?
Projecting. There's 83% of the votes counted
AP just called it for Kelly and Fontes.
It's crazy that these were all called shortly after that batch with over 80% In favor of the GOP and over 10,000 votes were tallied.

How fitting for their illusion they are trying to project.
