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.

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.
