We May See Another 'Red Mirage' on Election Night 2024
Briefly

The extended 2020 election-denial saga began on Election Night when Trump claimed victory prematurely, despite clear indications that Biden would ultimately win as more ballots were counted.
The phenomenon of the 'red mirage' showed Trump's early lead due to in-person votes; the later counted mail-in ballots led to the 'blue shift', which Trump falsely claimed was fraudulent.
Trump's accusations of a 'rigged' 2024 election suggest he might contest any potential defeat; however, factors like reduced mail voting may make the situation differ from 2020.
After the 2020 election, Trump's calls into question of the legitimacy of mail-in ballots reflects a broader narrative that he may continue into the 2024 election.
