Every *legal* vote.
We've never had final results on Election Day. Not in 2016. Not in 2012. Not in 2008. Not in 2004. Not in 2000. Not in 1996. Not in 1992. Not in 1988. Not in 1984. Not in 1980. Not in 1976. Not in 1972. Not in 1968... Every vote must be counted, no matter how long it takes.

But in many of those years we had a candidate reach 270 on election night. I was in that Grant Park crowd in 2008 and distinctly remember CNN calling it. If by "final" results you mean other states' results trickling in later... then sure.

usually, the race is 'called' when wonky political folks use a lot of precinct data to essentially predict with certainty that the votes are there for a candidate. The final count is never actually known on election night.
