31. I'd never seen a state called wrong prior to 2000

Also, your source is showing raw data, not the corrected totals that were broadcast back in the days of broadcast journalism, prior to MediaWhoreDumb becoming the norm.

I don't recall the trends failing to hold the way they have recently. Networks used exit polling and vote totals to make their calls. Florida 2000 was the first one I remember being called wrong.

Perhaps something has changed in the methodology, but the lack of paper trails makes me very suspicious of the whole process, especially when proven statistical methods suddenly fail.
