2020 Absentee/Early Voting megathread 2

[Non Swing Voter]

PA now at 32.3% of 2016 turnout.

Dems 1,354,624 (68.5%)
Reps 426,431 (21.6%)
Other 197,431 (10%)
= 1,978,486

Dem return rate is 70%, Rep return rate is 54%. Dem lead is now +928K. It was +881K yesterday.

I think those numbers are still lagging the real numbers.  I can't find the article but the actual numbers were higher a week ago in some of the philly suburban counties and I still don't think they've been accounted for much less the new ones that have come in.

Doesn't PA update only on Fridays or something?

I think that's Minnesota or is it PA too?  I feel like they do update every couple of days it's just far behind the actual numbers in some places.

Already at 75 million, we could see 100 million before Tuesday

PA updates every weekday. Minnesota is every Friday

FL. D lead down to 221k. More than half way to 200k since the morning. On target to reach 200k by end of the day. I'll update the graph next hour— au ng (@athein1) October 28, 2020

These types of posts really miss the point of what's going on in FL. No one is surprised at Dems lead. It was never going to hold.

PA updates every weekday. Minnesota is every Friday

Their numbers don't seem accurate though.  There have been articles about how their reporting is behind.  It would be nice if they got their act together considering it's probably the most important state this cycle.

This thread explains why Butler county PA is lagging hard behind every other PA county in VBM.

Do you have the article? As far as I can tell, it's pretty up to date. I know they are slightly lagging some counties (like Montco) but not by much and they're basically just like a day behind.

Yes. And every early voting site doubles as a drop-box.

Trump still has a easy path to an easy landslide victory in Texas, he just needs super high rural turnout to counter the Travis county turnout

TN is acting up: not a lot of discussion about how substantial the EV has been there, but this is right now at a Chattanooga early voting site. The line is 700 feet outside the building.

Ok, Alito, Gorsuch, and Thomas want to allow the ballots to be cast but then thrown out after the fact. People should still get their ballots in before poll close on election day to be safe!

I early voted about two hours ago. There was a steady stream of people coming in/out, but I didn't have to wait at all. All the elections staff were wearing PPE, the floor was marked with socially distant markings (crosses showing where to stand to wait, arrows, etc.), and there was an older gentleman with a big bottle of hand sanitizer at the door. Though not all voters were wearing masks. Oh well, this is a Trumpy area. They weren't giving out "I voted" stickers surprisingly. Instead you got to keep the unpackaged until you vote with it NCSBE branded "I VOTED IN THE 2020 ELECTION!" pen. The irony was not lost on me that the pens were manufactured in China.
