Fox News called Ohio for President Obama before all the votes were cast. That action has many people questioning and being questioned, like Fox News analyst Karl Rove, directly on Fox’s air on election night, creating some tension and unease on the set.

At around the 11 p.m. hour, there’s only a matter of 900-odd votes separating Mitt Romney and Obama; key counties hadn’t finished giving their tallies; the percentages for the two candidates were 49.19 (Obama) to 49.17 (Romney). “I’m just saying that in terms of public perception, it looks a little odd for us to be calling this,” said Rove, who’d earlier indicated that the Romney campaign concurred that Ohio got called prematurely for the president.”

The situation in Ohio made Fox News Election Night Co-Anchor Megyn Kelly to make a personal visit to the Fox News decision desk, where the fellows instilled confidence in her that the Ohio call was already determined and solid.

Stated Bret Baier to Rove concerning the level of guarantee at the decision desk: “They’re pretty confident there, Karl.”
