They are setting the premise for the steal.
In 2020 they used to media to message about the “Red Mirage”. where Biden would only win after many days of vote counting.
And now they are saying Democrats overperform the polls.
Also, I bet they also start messaging that a popular vote loss but an electoral college win is legitimate after all !
Since 2020, all they have to do is slow-walk the count for a week until enough mail-ins are produced to put the Democrat in front. They did it again to Kari Lake in 2022, and they'll be out in force in 2024 because absolutely nothing has been done to enforce signature verification on the mail-ins.
