A "red mirage," or an artificial GOP vote lead, will likely reoccur Tuesday.
As early Election Day results come in on Tuesday, it will likely appear that a Republican candidates vying for any number of the federal or statewide races appear to be leading their Democratic opponents, even by large margins.
Their leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived "dumps" of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days -- or even weeks -- following Election Day.
This phenomenon was popularized as the "red mirage" or the "blue shift" after the 2020 presidential election, when former President Donald Trump took a deceptive lead in several competitive states on Election Day due to delays in counting of Democrats' mail-in ballots -- their preferred method of voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic -- only to eventually dissipate when the entire reserve of votes was totaled.
The illusion was a principal component of Trump and his allies' false claims that the contest was fraudulent upon his ultimate loss to Joe Biden.

Feds don’t want honest elections…c’mon man…
Can they not at least see how this could be construed as “fraud”?
We need to find a way to do what all other countries do: Count the votes in one day.
For starters: NO ONE needs 2 months to vote.
Let’s limit it to 2 weeks. Mail-in Ballots received after however long it takes them to be counted, should NOT be accepted.
“early voting” should be available to everyone, or any reason... but, only for 1 week before election day.
ID must be required.
As a country, we are going to HAVE to get back to honest elections, or at least, the illusion of such, or we will not survive.
Long gone wisdom.
(and why that’s OK)
Because Democrat cheating is good?
Yeah?
How much you wanna bet on that?
Every election is a crisis. The body politic now never let’s a crisis go to waste. The media loves the ratings. The Beltway bureaucrats eat popcorn and enjoy the illusion show.
Hell, that’s what J0tato’s speech was all about last week.
Doesn't matter. The GOP is just fine with whatever the RATs do.
How does ABC know, “it will likely appear that a Republican candidates vying for any number of the federal or statewide races appear to be leading,” the day prior to the election even taking place?
Can the steal be anymore obvious?
I hope and pray we have such a big red wave they can't steal it.
First, an Article V COS.
Brazil had their results that night. Why can’t we?
Yes! I noted that from Biden...’taking time to count votes’ and how we GOP are supposedly ‘too impatient’ for that.... They are up to no good.
Brazil’s results were riddled with fraud.

Why would they know the Republican’s margin would decline or vanish over time as they endlessly count? Why wouldn’t the Democrat’s margin decrease?
Exactly! Why not a ‘blue mirage?’ Are they seers?
They make it sound like only Democrats vote late by mail or absentee ballot. How does that work?
Agree- and if they do steal it, then fault lies squarely on the shoulders if the GOP.
