RECORD SETTING early ballots!!! This was an election unlike any others and it won't be repeated the same way next time (assuming the Rona is gone blah, blah, blah).
But, what does not make good television is a boring election, so that had to pick apart all the early results that were coming in. So ridiculous comments about the Dems "losing" because they didn't take GA and FL came out. You had a few counties announcing results and people were losing their minds.
Also, each state is different and has different counting rules. But, again the short attention span of viewers (and voters) wanted the results in the moment everything closed. That's just incredible.
Add to that the complete unawareness (and obvious gaslighting) of those with platforms to speak but no understanding of how their elections work.
