A complete moratorium of "calling" states until at least 75% of the ballots are in and counted. No more of this "predictive programming" where the media calls a state as they hope it will be based on 1% of precincts reporting, to depress additional turnout in that state, and in states further west.

Reporters began withholding the names of murder and accident victims until the victim's family had been notified ; this was a voluntary decision on the part of the media of the day (late 1920s). It came about as a result of public outcry, when a Kansas City dentist learned of his wife's murder at the hands of a serial killer in a newspaper while he was attending an out of state dental convention. The public, regardless of party affiliation, needs to show as much disgust for early calling as the jazz agers did over a man learning of his wife's murder via newspaper (the press reported that he returned to KC in a state of "complete nervous collapse").
