A delay in tallying votes effects how media outlets report election results because they only have the votes that have been counted, and they only know who was the “popular vote” at that time, until the rest of the votes have been counted. It is not realistic to expect an accurate count and a result by the end of an election night because there are millions of votes to go through, and it is nearly impossible to be able to count them all in one night.
