Everyone knew this would happen.  The mail in votes that were not counted until later (many times because the Republicans wanted it that way) are much more in favor of Biden.  This is because people who voted for Biden were more likely to be concerned with the safety of large public gatherings and the spread of Covid while Trump supporters don't give a shit about any of that.  So Biden voters were much more likely to vote by mail.

This is why here in Ohio Biden took the early lead because we do things the way it should be done. The mail in votes are ready to be counted on election day as they are approved beforehand. So when they were counted first, Ohio initially was going to Biden due to all the mail-ins being counted. But as the evening went on, it swung to Trump because the votes at the poles were more for him.
