To be fair, that's just a Trump thing.

The irony is that they need Nevada and Arizona to swing to them so they have no problem waiting for those votes to be counted.

It’s not at all just Trump though.   

This is a Republican thing.  Some (Republican) state legislatures have decreed that mail-in ballots not be counted until later to help bolster the Republican legal arguments. 

States are severely limiting polling places and drop boxes in districts with a lot of minorities who tend to vote Democrat.

In several states, you need to be physically disabled, have an illness or over 65 to vote by mail.  Fear of getting COVID was not an approved reason to vote by mail.  Of course, people over 65 tend to vote Republican.

The banana republic tactics go on and on....
