It's still early, but this does not look great for Republicans so far. --

Over 400,000 people have voted so far in Pennsylvania, and registered Democratic voters vs registered Republican voters is currently 69% to 23%.

Over 500,000 people have voted so far in Michigan, and registered Democratic voters vs registered Republican voters is currently 57% to 34%.

Over 200,000 people have voted so far in Wisconsin, and registered Democratic voters vs registered Republican voters is currently 40% to 19%.

Over 700,000 people have voted so far in Virginia, and registered Democratic voters vs registered Republican voters is currently 53% to 38%.

Early Voting and Mail-In Ballots by State 2024 Results

View the results for mail-in and early in-person ballots in your state for the 2024 general elections
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com


From the New York Times regarding Republicans' early voting problems in Pennsylvania. --

In the past two election cycles, Republicans have been far less eager to vote by mail than Democrats — and their candidates have suffered because of it. This year, Republicans made Pennsylvania their target for flipping the trend, pledging more than $10 million to persuade G.O.P. voters there to vote by mail in the November election.

Early data from the secretary of state’s office shows that they still have a long way to go.

As of Monday, Democrats in the state had requested about 881,000 mail ballots, and Republicans had requested 373,000, less than half of the Democratic total and only about a quarter of the total mail ballots requested in the state.

Pennsylvania Republicans Lag Democrats in Early Mail Ballot Requests

Encouraging voters to cast mail ballots — and cast them early — benefits political campaigns. But former President Donald J. Trump’s skepticism has hurt Republican efforts in a key state.

Unless you are Jon Ralston in Nevada, you should not be attempting to make predictions about what early voting trends mean in states. Pretty much 100% of analysis about this in past elections has been wrong.

Democrats usually vote early more often than Republicans. But, because we have had so few presidential elections where early voting was even a substantial thing, and because each election has had substantially different laws around early voting, especially with our most recent presidential election, 2020, having so many exceptions due to Covid, and especially because different parties' messaging about early voting has changed the last few years, I do not think there is any real predictive power that anyone could get by looking at these voting trends.

Except Jon Ralson in Nevada. He is the only one who has had any sort of consistent predictive success.

Republicans in Pennsylvania have made a concerted effort to get out the vote early, as the NY Times articles discusses. And it's not working.

This is what happens when idiots like Trump constantly denigrate early voting. Republicans are going to be starting in a massive deficit on election day in many key battleground states.

And that’s fabulous. I fully support that trend continuing.

It’s great knowing how much of a lead and a firewall you can have ahead of time. Add in early voting and it’s a double helping of awesome.

Day of voting can be so unpredictable. And also unreliable. Someone is sick. The weather sucks. Someone’s car breaks down. Get stuck at work. Traffic jam. So many things can impact day of voting…but hey 🤷‍♀️

Republicans don’t handle change well, so they’ll continue to cling to that mentality for quite some time to their own detriment.
 
I urge all MAGA to remember that if they go outdoors to send a ballot, they risk exposure to liberals who have had multiple COVID vaccines. These vaccines cause liberal bodies to emit spike proteins that, upon encountering a MAGA, transform them from conservative, white, straight, male, Christian metalworkers into woke, brown, trans, gay, atheist gender studies majors.

Remember, go vote, become woke.

And you don’t want to be woke.

Because Republicans aren't smart enough to cheat. On mail ballots. The most vulnerable voting method ever devised. So easy to cheat a mail ballot, a 5th grader could do it. Trump said.

I guess Republicans aren't smarter than a 5th grader. According to Trump, of course.

Much like 2020, Trump is going to once again illegally attempt to stop those votes from getting counted.

Oh yeah, they will start complaining that all these votes are illegal by tomorrow.
 
Don't they always?
So Democratic voters, vote early and use the mail in option, that trend continues.

The Harris Campaign's ground game is far superior to Trump's which you would expect since Campaign logistics is what the Harris campaign staff has proven good at while Trump is running his own campaign. That holds some benefits for him and some deficits for him.

It's a little like being your own lawyer at trial. You might score some points. But overall, it's a losing plan.

Fortunately, after years of exposure to lefty bullshit like this, righties have attained herd immunity.

This is untrue and @X Factor has bought into the Fake News by the leftist filth that it is safe for MAGA to go out in public. The reality is that MAGA who venture outdoors to vote are at high risk of being infected by leftist spike proteins. If you just vote, then I heed you to follow Donald Trump’s advise and vote on January 5th.

Trying to make folks fearful of leaving their houses has, definitely, been a part of the lefty playbook since 2020, but I’m here to combat your disinformation. Voting will not turn you into a leftie unless certain pre existing conditions are present
 
I don't know how closely people are following what's going on in Nebraska, but that Senate race may be extremely close.

Dan Osborn, an independent, is leading against the Republican incumbent Senator Deborah Fischer, 50% - 44%, according to the latest polls. --

A new internal poll by SurveyUSA shows Osborn with 50 percent of the likely votes and a six-point lead over Fischer, up from a one-point lead in the same poll last month. And data suggest that Osborn is winning 1 in 5 Trump voters. He’ll need that many or more to win as an independent in these highly partisan times. But if it can happen anywhere, Nebraska’s the place.

MAGA need to be aware of the risks of coming into contact with leftist spike proteins. Visiting a leftist polling site puts you at risk of turning into a gay, woke dark skinned gender studies major employed by FEMA. Worse, your location will be tracked so that Kamala Harris can aim hurricanes at you. Be safe, be smart and vote on January 5th.

Donald Trump approves this message.
