Everything uses math. For some, 1+0= 2. Others, 1+1= 2 to 15. For others, 1+1= thousands.

We would also have to admit that in Pennsylvania that happened because Republicans wrote the legislation forbidding the count of mail-in ballots until after polls close, not because of any chicanery on the part of election administrators.

Through American history, the news networks calling an election reflected their predictions, not total counts. Just like Fox called Arizona for Biden before they finished counting, they used a combination of precincts reported, their own exit polls, and math to figure out who won before the official count was in.

Just because they count early doesn’t mean they have to release a running total.
