Correction: A previous headline said the Associated Press makes race projections, however the AP does not project likely winners. It makes a race call when it determines there is no way for the other candidate to make up the difference in votes.

As polls close on election night and results come in, the NewsHour will rely on the Associated Press for race calls. The AP has more than 4,000 reporters on the ground in all 50 states monitoring vote totals to project election outcomes. AP Executive Editor Julie Pace joined Judy Woodruff to explain more about how and when races are called, and what to expect.
