2020 Absentee/Early Voting thread

What do we make of the consistency in Republican returned ballots in Iowa... IA-4 is 10% higher, IA-2 is 10% lower, but they're all pretty much the same? I would expect IA-4 to be much higher.

IA- 1 162 k Registered Rep
IA-2 168 k Registered Rep
IA-3 194 k Registered Rep
IA-4 216 k Registered Rep

Dropped off my mail ballot at the county elections office this morning. Pretty steady stream of other people dropping them off as well. This is the first year we've had mail voting in PA, so can't make any comparisons to previous elections, sadly.

Dems lead Rep by 394.3 k in early voting. Dems lead Rep by 74.7 to 17.0 in terms of percentage.
In Philadelphia 156 k people have already voted.
Allegheny 190 k
Chester 49k
Lancaster 36 k
Northhampton 36 k

Some of these PA counties are taking forever to report their numbers, especially the Philly burbs. It’s annoying.

Totally  agree with you. Bucks has 0.6 % return rate
Montgomery has 1% return rate

I think both counties had delays sending out their ballots, apparently most weren't sent until just a few days ago.

Great turnout day in Wisconsin as there were 65,093 new votes returned since yesterday to bring the totals to 821,300. There will probably be over 900,000 returned votes when in-person absentee voting starts on Tuesday. The trio of Milwaukee-Dane-Waukesha all returned pretty substantial numbers of raw votes (10,648-8,269-6,136). Dane County is up to 43.67% of 2016 votes returned. Still possible that Dane County could get to 50% by next Tuesday morning. Today is the first day of Madison having 14 drop boxes across the city.

This was the case in York County as well

Dane's number is really encouraging sign for Biden.

I wonder how much these numbers are going to surge next week when in-person early voting starts. I'll be voting with my family at 8 AM on Monday, I'm sure it's going to be a huge day statewide for voting numbers.

Yeah, its gonna be big. Particularly I think Milwaukee will be big given some of the fears with the mail in minority communities.

Can we expect 60% turnout before election day.

Just cast my vote! Went with a couple of conservative leaning friends who voted Biden at the top and straight republican downballot. Could be a common theme but just anecdotal of course

 I wondered about this. If some people who are Republicans are done with Trump but want to check Biden and so vote to keep Congress as Republican as possible vs. Republicans who are sick of the whole Trump era and will vote Democrat.

 I am still not convinced there is some huge number of Republicans defecting from Trump but we'll see.

Pennsylvania Dems certainly are energized:

The fact that this doesn't even include most of the Philly suburbs seems promising.
