You are correct of course. 
Not to mention that an early call can influence voter, if not probably influence the outcome to some extend. |
That's what really makes me puke when some news reporter calls themselves a "journalist". They do what they need to do to sell commercials and win prizes for reporting, but there is no concern for what their actions could do to alter something as important as an election.
