It's perfectly normal. It's always been normal. In some states, the law says you can't start counting mail-in votes until election day. That means big cities cannot complete the count until late at night or early the next morning. If you don't like that, then change your state laws to count mail-in votes when the ballots are received, before election day. Strangely, it's usually Republicans who are preventing this. Because of Trump's conspiracy-theories, his voters avoid mail-in ballots. Therefore, they favor Democrats, often 2:1. Thus, it's common in about half the states for the vote to shift toward Democrats in the middle of the night. Sure, you might think Democrats are to blame, since they like mail-in ballots so much. But at the same time, Republicans are the cause of this "blue mirage" because they oppose laws to count the ballots early, and because they avoid mail-in ballots.
