Trying to keep the Trump arguments straight:
When news outlets call states for Trump, that means he won. When news outlets call states for Biden, that is meaningless.
When Trump gains ground in a state as counting continues, that’s good. When Biden gains ground, that’s fraud.

That is not true. Even in pre-pandemic elections, it was routine for states to accept ballots - including ballots from overseas military members - postmarked by (or before) Election Day but received after. The states that do so include states governed by conservative Republicans.
