Did Fox Just Jump The Gun?

As Hannah mentioned, Fox is predicting Democrats take the House.

BREAKING: The Fox News Decision Desk projects that Democrats will take control of the House of Representatives for the first time in eight years. https://t.co/4yNg8n30sj pic.twitter.com/kA8joAhvti

I sort of expected this. I didn’t WANT this, but I’m not shocked.

But here’s the thing…

Many are wondering if it’s too early to call:

This is interesting. ⁦@FoxNews⁩ calls the House while California is still voting for 90 min. They could be right, but if Republicans continue to turn out in the Golden State, things could shift. The network will face a lot of questions after tonight and this is one of them. pic.twitter.com/QPU4vks4wM

Western states haven’t even all closed the polls at this point.

That Fox News projection of the House flipping to Democratic control is basically right near as I can tell but still weirdly early in the night.

Fox is so wrong to make this call this early. There are states that are STILL voting ….

Early call by Fox News on the House. @FiveThirtyEight still gives Republicans a 44 percent chance of holding onto control.

I’m not trying to give anyone false hope here… but I AM wondering if Fox spoke too soon.
