So, while it’s possible the election may get “called” today, it’s also super likely that it might not. The maps generated by AP, CNN, the New York Times, and other spots are projections of which presidential candidate will probably take those states. They are not “official results.” And if you have older kids watching the election results with you — and talking about the election — it might be nice to remind them of that. CNN, the Associated Press, and President Trump himself do not decide the election. People voting do.
