Both Dems had huge leads early on. Then, there was reporting from a lot of the red counties, and Republicans took leads.
Of course, Trump didn't say anything at that point. There was no "mysterious" ballot dump that made that happen.
Later on, of course, a large count came from a very blue county. This all happened in real time - as commentators were saying that it would put the Dems ahead, because there was generally an 80/20 split in favor of Dems from that county.
But sure enough - as soon as that gets reported, Trump starts tweeting about "finding" votes, and retweeting all kinds of madness about the Dems "doing it again."
It's called counting the votes, and there are surges for both sides in every election as different areas report at different times. But w/ Trump and the new GOP, it's only a "ballot dump" if the surge is for Dems.
