exit polls. The count used to be honest for the most part so on election night networks used exit polling. In close states they used exit polling and the raw count.
So for instance if the networks knew back then in a state like Wyoming if Dem turnout was higher and exit polls showed that they might hold back a call in a normally republican state.
How can they call it when they were only 50 something percent counted? Makes no sense. Well, except it does.

These days the count is corrupted everywhere.
