MN, WI,and MI are around 40-45% of 2016 turnout - how does this look to anyone? not sure what to think of it.

For absentee ballots, I think each state is surpassing where they were in terms of returned ballots at this point in 2016 but I am exactly sure about MN. In Michigan, this really isn't a useful comparison though; this is the first general election that the state has had no-reason absentee voting available to everyone.

This is a bit old but I don't think it's been posted here yet:

Michigan’s most Democratic counties are among those that have returned the most absentee ballots so far in an election that is shattering turnout records, according to a Bridge analysis of state records.

Bridge’s analysis shows that about 60 percent of the ballots returned through Monday came from eight counties that Clinton won in 2016, nearly 900,000 of the 1.5 million ballots.

Of the 19 counties where Republican President Trump got 65 percent of the vote or more in 2016, 14.6 percent of registered voters have returned a mail-in ballot.

In the counties Clinton won, the return rate is 20.8 percent.

And in Detroit, which favored Clinton by 95 percent of the vote in 2016, 73,000 voters — nearly half of those who sought ballots — have already returned them.
