The very fact that the election looked like a landslide for Trump until about 9pm, and then a massive comeback by the democrats should make anybody scratch their heads.
Not really, that pattern has repeated itself for as long as I can remember. The reason why is that low population rural counties that heavily favor Republicans generally report their results early while the more populated counties with big cities that favor Democrats take much longer to tabulate and are reported much later at night. It's a timing difference between reporting rural votes versus big city votes. Counties with very high dense populations are almost always the last ones finish counting and report their results.
