.... what is the problem?

Next Logic and Accuracy Testing begins. This is the process to make certain that voter choices are being accurately recorded and tabulated. It is performed by SCEC staff in bi-partisan teams. Test decks are then created, which includes at least one ballot of every type, and the sufficient numbers of ballots, so each candidate can receive a unique number of votes. We include at least one write-in vote for every race and include under- and over-voted ballots to make sure the equipment handles these special situations correctly. This test deck is tallied by hand. Then it used for test voting on an Early Voting machine.

Finally, the test deck is scanned by the paper optical scanning machine.

All three counts are compared and must match. The test deck is printed on pink ballot stock and each ballot is clearly stamped “Test Deck – Do Not Count,” eliminating the possibility that the test ballots could be counted on Election Night.

A timeline isn't needed. It's simple math. First they say only 1800 votes left then it jumps up LymphocyteLover Dec 4 #17

Idk about the OPs claim but I was tracking NYTs county results and they had it at more than 95% reporting even tho SSJVegeta Dec 4 #22

yes, I agree with the idea that these media sites likely have imperfect counts LymphocyteLover Dec 4 #31

I mean they often report based on percentage of precincts reporting. SSJVegeta Dec 4 #33
