As an European, I'm struck by depending on media outlets announcements. Here we have official government committee, which gathers official results from all districts, sums the results and proclaims winner. Does USA have official, federal bureau for election results?
The official counts will be done in about a month. The media has projections and calls elections in a legally nonbinding fashion. For the position of President, it doesn't happen 'for real' until the Electoral College votes, anyhow.
