The media conducts exit polls to report on current results. If they declared a result before their own polls were complete, it probably means they got word of the official results. But who knows, maybe it's fake news. I'll believe just about anything these days.

you'd think so, but the babyrape lobby really isn't what they used to be

I'll be surprised if Moore wins, Alabama is full on deep South Republican. These people are Republican loyalists.

The results are already in. Unless the write-ins change the outcome, Doug Jones has won.

I think it was called by the election officials. That confused me as well, though.

It was called by the media, not the election officials.

The media is in contact with election officials to keep their data up to date.

The real drama is if the write-ins end up mattering.

That would be insane if the write-ins changed the outcome.

unlikely, the margin for jones is ~2, write ins are at ~1.5, so even if every write in was a moore voter jones would've still managed it

Where are you getting the margin for Jones from? NYT says it's 0.6
