The Truth

The screenshot under that line called a jump for El-Sayed after midnight a huge dump of votes. AP said before the vote that Wayne, Oakland and Michigan's other big counties release relatively few results in their first updates. El-Sayed leads in Wayne County alone by 311,007 votes, with 95% counted.

The Text

"Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Kent, Genesee and Washtenaw counties tend to release relatively few results in their first vote updates."
