I don't see how this is surprising at all. If you were given 20 days to vote and people voted randomly then you would expect about 95% of voters to have voted before today. Given that voting is an important thing that you probably don't want to procrastinate, I expect more than 95% of people would have already voted. On the contrary it is probably habitual to wait til the big day, but I wouldn't read too much into that number.


Votes aren't uninformly distributed. Most people vote on election day.


Not all states provide early voting. The vast majority of votes will be cast today.
