The reason they can make that determination right now is because they have access to the vote counts and the number of electors that each state has.

Yep. Anyone can choose to listen to the darker side of their human nature, choose to blame others for their own faults or failures and develop prejudice like a cancer. Anyone can choose consciously or subconsciously to allow hate to take root in themselves and to feed it. That’s the difference between ignorance which can be combated with education and WILLFUL ignorance which is a choice.

[@drmantistobboggangonzodr3961]

Also many educated people make great marks for conmen because they may allow pride to blind them and just don’t believe they could ever be tricked or they may not want to admit that they have exploitable vulnerabilities... of course pride itself is obviously an exploitable vulnerability. “It’s easier to fool a man than to convince him he’s been fooled”. Who said that, Twain? It’s true. There’s also the sunk cost fallacy where people invest their hope, money, effort, etc. and don’t want to admit they were wrong or that all the belief etc. they invested was wasted or used to work against their own best interests. High IQ doesn’t make someone immune to selfishness or poor EQ, etc. High IQ doesn’t mean that you have any common sense either.
