I agree, and again no expert. And that's what I would expect as well especially in a state not leaning one way or the other. But why does every hill and dip have an equate equal response over the whole period of time. I mean this is reported later, this was real time data feed to the news channel. After the fact now, but real time then. Is it how they are processed after the fact? Just would like more insight how things are processed.

you would expect that if the electorate is truly 50/50

whether you count 100 ballots in an hour or 500 ballots in an hour, you would expect half the votes to one guy and half to the other.

If you count 100 votes/hour for 10 hours in a row, then get a dump and process 500/hr, you'd still expect half the big dump to have half the votes go one way and half go the other way.

Fair question on why the hell these precincts are so bad at reporting numbers in a timely manner though
