If Biden is leading in NC based on the combined total of election day vote and early mail in vote count totals, that I believe would sink Trump's conspiracy arguments. I am assuming that the vast majority of mail in votes will be tabulated and released election day night in NC if it allows early counting of absentee ballots. At that point there is no credible logic to argue that mail in votes that came in just under the wire would look any different than ones that came in days earlier because of alleged "fraud".
