The reason this phrase has come in to use with the results is because someone ran an analysis that the late counted ballots couldn't have arisen by chance as different from the already counted ballots, if they were normally distributed.
The flaw is that of course they're not normally distributed, and there was no reason to expect them to be since they came from different populations of voters and different methods of voting. It's "there's not enough M&Ms in this bag of Skittles! This can't be chance!" levels of idiocy.
