Reasoning

Some Democratic-led cities (Detroit, Atlanta, Milwaukee) were slow in 2020, but other large Democratic cities (Dallas, Houston, Austin, Phoenix) outpaced their states. Larger cities take longer to count for mathematical reasons, and counting timelines are usually set by state-level (often Republican) lawmakers.
