6. This red mirage thing is ridiculous.

Most states count absentee ballots first, not last. My state can start counting the absentee ballots several weeks prior to the election. So as the numbers come in, it will be the opposite of red mirage here.
As long as majority of absentee ballots arrive before the election, there won't be red mirage happening in most states.
