In blowout elections it can be a done deal by noon. IIRC, Reagan won 49 of 50 states and that election was basically called before polls opened. There is a lot of talk about the mandatory recount triggers being necessary in at least one of Ohio, Florida, or Virginia which could take longer.
There has been a lot of talk for the potential that this is undecided for the next week to ten days. More informed people seem to hold that opinion than those that think it will be clear tonight.
