how come virtually every election i’ve watched for decades, the conservative leads most of the night and then at the end the liberal always overtakes them by a few points. Almost every single time. Almost as if they needed time to figure out how many votes they needed to manufacture.
Republicans need to learn to cheat.
In recent elections, at least, Democratic/liberal voters tend to vote early/mail-in, while Republican/conservative voters tend to vote on Election Day. In most states, the election day ballots get counted first.
