BUT WHAT ABOUT THE RM POLL

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE RM POLL
Some claims of monkey business have come through my PM inbox over the last 24 hours. Mostly from the orpheus fringe of N&D. I've looked into it, but honestly, I can only conclude that this is simply what democracy in action looks like. By 2020 we should all recognize that RM polls are bond.

Can someone tell me why AP (whom I believe to be the most reliable election certifier) hasn't budged from calling AZ while all the networks are keeping it in play? For the networks, is it a fear of looking like Fox did last night? Need for media to keep viewers engaged on a Wednesday night?
I mean, when everyone else called Michigan earlier today, AP held out until it was certain. Yet they are doing the opposite in AZ. They even use the McSally returns in 2018 as an example of their caution in the explainer section of the AP website.
So why is AP seemingly the only outlet that includes AZ to give Biden 264 currently?

Because the AP is correct. They know Biden has it somehow

While I agree here, I still can't understand why all of the networks and 538/RM etc are using mental energy and bandwidth to try and convince us AZ is in play.

This has gotten tighter. Trump now at $1.70 and Biden at $2.20. Let's see...
Looking much better for me this morning. Biden at $1.28, Trump at $3.75.
If Biden wins I'll need suggestions on how to spend my $175.
I think I might buy an original MAGA hat. With 45 on the side, 'natch.
