OP
I think MD will be called as soon as the first votes come in. 30-40 mins on PA.

Networks have been overly cautious about calling races for the last 16 years

The networks still like being the first to call a race. There's no incentive to play it conservatively.

but the state wasn't called for her for quite some time as exit polls indicated a closer race than it turned out to be.

conduct an "exit poll" and "report" the results.
"Stay tuned for an important update after a word from our sponsors."
