Trump seemed to have a head start early on, it really didn't feel like a close call somehow.

  Do you mean early in the counting? Surely thay doesn't matter.

    yeah it's was a fuzzy comment, i guess you mean the important/big states are always known last, but he really was ahead all along with a comfortable margin

      The order in which the votes are counted dows not matter!

        He should have written "If it is a close race the order matter for the perception of who will win".

  But it wasn't actually a race, the votes were all finished being cast and were just being counted, so concepts like "having a head start" or "being ahead" don't really apply.

    The live-feed counting process really messes with people's heads. Trump used this confusion to great effect in creating the conspiracy theory about election stealing ("we were winning"), but it's not only the right wing that gets it confused. It feels like there has to be a better way to present the data to make it more obvious what's actually happening.

      Yeah, I personally believe that states should agree to collectively wait till the day after to release all election results at once. That way there's not as much confusion.
