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?
In the US, elections, even ones for federal office, are run by the state governments. These would be who announces official results, not the federal government, but nobody wants to wait for official results. We've got to know who won now, now, now.
