Honestly I think the reason is that they haven't updated their projections as the vote has come in.

I still think the Democrats needed someone who could shout back at Trump. Should have just went all in on Sanders to show the progressives they tried haha.

Depends on the outcome
If Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Carolina are all within 3% and Biden wins then you would say it’s fine.
We don’t know how far out the polls were except in Florida which had a polling error that was identified as a risk before the election.
But it could be that polling error is 5% and therefore not that predictive in US politics.

Who knows. Some were right, especially on Florida.
Maybe we put too much stock on what those polls say.

Trump currently has a 12 point lead in GA, 3 point lead in OH and is virtually tied in NC (<3k votes)... I don't get it

Why is Iowa not reporting any results but all the states around them are, even if only 20% reporting?

Zoom in on the county level. Most of the red areas have nearly finished reporting. The blue areas (big cities like Cleveland, Cincinnati, etc.) where Biden has huge leads are only around ~55% reporting. I'm actually feeling kind of bullish on Ohio now, but I'm probably going to be Charlie Brown trying to kick the football before the night is over.

I feel like they are just putting that out to make Democrats sad when Trump wins them.

No, it's hard to keep track of all the ridiculous assertions you make.

Trump has officially taken the lead in North Carolina. Academic, but there it is.

You have to look at what areas have reported their votes and what areas are still outstanding. In all three cases, it appears that the votes from blue strongholds are still to be counted while the red vote is almost entirely in.

Thats why I don't sit down to watch until 9-10.
Why put yourself through those early hours sitting around, no need and just puts extra tension on yourself getting worked up over the first quarter of the results.

The other thing to keep in mind is that if Biden is at all close in Ohio, Trump isn’t winning Pennsylvania.

Biggest losers, maybe even more than 4 years ago because they have had 4 years to fix it? The polling industry. The networks are looking stupid yet again.
