I dont know if the question was directed to everyone, but ill still throw my hat in.
This increase in mail voting was due to the lack of in-person voting office support. There were, and still are, many places that focused pushed and did everything they could to tell their citizens, community, and state to vote using the mai-in ballots.
That all happened due to Covid-19, fear tactics were implemented (not to say that Covid-19 isn't a serious thing, it most certainly was, and still can be if we aren't careful, biological warfare is on the horizon) and everyone didn't dare go outside, everywhere you went was like a ghost town.
So yes, mail-in ballot had a huge surge, and it will most likely have big percent of this upcoming 2024 US Presidential Election.

Why did the counting of ballots take a pause at midnight of Nov 3 2020 when thats never happened before? I find that disturbing, isn't it election day?
I'm not saying I don't believe in the 2020 election results, I'm just curious looking back and noticing things I hadn't before. Is that wrong? If there is any evidence that the results are bad then they'll show up, if there isn't any then they wont show up. I think that pretty simple.

I can find no information corroborating your claim that vote counting paused at midnight for any significant amount of time. 

Cool, thank you for the information.
Hopefully the states have learned a lesson to sent the mail-ballot early, and receive them in time to finish counting before Californians decide to go asleep. :)
