Any reason why CNN called michign but AP hasn't? Is there something I don't know?
Been discussed a bunch of times. Some networks/agencies are more conservative with calling winners. They are projections based on statistics and probabilities. AP is historically conservative and wants more numbers to come in before calling a win. They don't like to be incorrect with their projections cause it's embarrassing and they would lose credibility if they have to recall it.
