Why President Trump's Early Leads In Key States Evaporated

On election night, President Trump initially led in key states but saw these leads diminish as mail-in ballots, largely from Democrats, were counted. Trump falsely claimed the election was being stolen and intended to take the matter to the Supreme Court. The counting delay was due to the high volume of mail-in votes, a method encouraged during the pandemic. Experts describe Trump's early leads as a 'red mirage,' which shifted towards Biden as more mail-in ballots were counted. This process, known as the 'blue shift,' was expected due to the order in which votes were tallied.
