Not sure I understand. They don't call it until after the polls close. How could calling it after the polls close influence people's political decisions?

Because Donald Trump is clearly planning, should Harris win, to use the earlier results as evidence that the election was stolen and they need to start a civil war about it.

He'd do that regardless. Not that it apparently matters now.

He didn't need any substantial evidence last time. Just lies, repeated loudly and often with confidence and conviction.
