Anyone remember Florida in 2000?
That's just prominent. In EVERY election, candidates take big leads in states early only to see them dwindle and disappear. Republicans in particular often take early leads because many rural areas are the 1st to report, only to see the race flip once the urban areas tally their votes.
But Trump made it sound like something brand new, and made people believe it was somehow sketchy and indicative of shenanigans. Like once you took a lead, it meant that you won.
