It appears every single state was reporting zero votes between midnight and 4 a.m. central standard time November 4th (?) - in many instances, at the very same moment in time.
I believe these timestamps are GMT/UTC, which is 6 hours ahead of central standard time.

While we’re at it, why don’t we just scrape all our money together and buy the NYT.
Just print memes all day
On the state level, do the timeseries make sense? Here is a link that includes all states.

No, I don’t think they make sense at the state level. If we get the precinct level time series maybe we can drill down on the weirdness.
