Early Voting Results for 2024 Election

There are a couple of sites providing analysis of the results of early votes so far:

 

https://election.lab.ufl.edu/early-vote/2024-early-voting/

 

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/early-vote

 

Spoiler alert: the Dems are pretty far ahead. Since Trump's campaign organization has zero effort to contact people to vote, Trump is using some workaround, a patched up effort by Elon to use canvassers who get paid by the numbers of doors they claim to knock on. Yeah, you know how that works.

 

Anyway, Trump's lack of a ground game is killing GOP early voting numbers and will impact turnout on November 5.

 

The only states where early voting favors Trump are Georgia and Arizona.

 

Pennsylvania is so bad for Trump, that Harris may build a firewall so large by November 5 that it can't be overcome by Election Day turnout.

OP seems politically savvy enough to know but referring to this as "early voting results" is not exactly accurate.  There are no "results" yet - just demographics of early voters.  

 

"It’s unclear what this means for the election, however. The early vote data only reveals whether voters are registered with a party, not who they are voting for, and the early electorate can change from day to day as more people vote early.

 

The surge in 2020 Democratic early voting was largely a reaction to a pandemic that no longer exists, skewing historic comparisons. And what might seem like demographic trends in the early vote can suddenly disappear once Election Day votes are factored in."

Do you believe that this time the increase is what verses Covid19?

Sorry, I don't understand the question as you've written it.....?  

 

If you are asking if I think the early voting is higher than during COVID19 - or because of COVID19 - I'd venture to guess that COVID19 got people used to voting early and they realized it's a lot easier than standing in a line for hours on election day.

That explanation was exactly what I was looking to read. Thanks

The pros understand that banking early votes is one of the keys to winning.

 

But, you can use polls to learn who is going to win. Up to you.

Harris beating Trump soundly in the national:

And the polls are clearly trending to Harris in the battleground states:

Now is the time to look at actual voting numbers instead of the polls.

 

You can cry about the polls after Trump loses.

No actual votes have been counted. 

 

You claimed polls irrelevant when Trump was ahead, then when Harris too the lead you were all over the polls and they were the be-all-end-all until they stated looking bad for Harris, now they're back to irrelevance. How funny is that?

Your ability to predict the future is noteworthy.

 

Never met anyone like you before.

 

How did you obtain this divine talent?

 

Did God visit you in your sleep and grant you and only you this wonderful power ?

Speaking of early voting, Nevada is (was?) Harris's strongest battleground state, yes? 

 

"Republicans lead in counted ballots by about 6,000, roughly 2 percent, Ralston noted in an updated post Tuesday morning.

 

He explained Monday that the “firewall” that generally contributes to a Democratic advantage from Clark County has “collapsed,” with Democrats only leading Republicans there by about 4,500 votes. The county is the most populous in the state and home to Las Vegas."

 

Nevada early voting data shows potential danger for Kamala Harris and Democrats
