That MN ruling could save Colin Peterson lol

And if it is a problem, it helps Biden and Conor Lamb.

Called it. I said not to put anything past this garbage administration.

Wow. It just might be happening. Look at those turnout differentials!

[Storr]

I was just wondering when they'd report today's numbers since 7 early voting locations are open 24 hours today; thankfully the Harris County Clerk's twitter is already on top of it. https://twitter.com/HarrisVotes/status/1321962756493447168?s=20

The Harris County clerk should get a medal.  They are keeping it exciting with the updates, which is probably encouraging people to get excited about early voting.

Does anyone know what percent of the Texas vote typically comes from the vast expanse of sparsely populated rural areas?  I guess with the cities and suburbs booming they'll make up a much smaller share this year.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Big spike in the last hour today in Williamson County! They finish the day with around 11,100 in-person votes, already the biggest voting day since Friday & likely to eclipse last Thursdays votes (11,784) when the mail ballot counts are updated

[Bojack Horseman]

Did Wayne County seriously have  higher turnout in 2018 than in 2016 and 2012? That doesn’t sound right.

Not even close. There were 658k votes for Senate in Wayne in 2018 vs. 783k votes for President in Wayne in 2016 (and 818k in 2012). Hard to imagine Detroit went the opposite direction of the rest of Wayne County by such an extreme degree. I assume they just have bad data.

I can’t imagine that in 2020 with record-shattering turnout that Detroit will only be at 50%.

It is literally the one thing I will miss about this election.

Georgia, Final Thursday Update:, 195,759 votes were cast on Thursday. As I hypothesized, I believe turnout today was around 10% lower than the other days this week due to the tropical storm that hit us this morning.

This includes 149,911 in-person votes and 45,848 mail ballots.

Total ballots cast in GA are now 2,466,556 in-person & 1,152,722 by mail, for a grand total of 3,619,278 (86.89% of 2016 total vote).

Montgomery is also only 3% higher, not 18. The state site is wrong

This map but only focused on counties that swung to Beto (Compared to the 2012 Senate race)





Of the counties listed with highest turnout compared to 2016, only Blanco & Medina didn't swing to Beto

person who tweeted made a mistake. They were talking about 2008 not 2018. They rectified it later on.

Wayne County has lost 150,000 people since 2008, too.

but this was turnout percentage not absolute number of voters (if I recall).

Let the slaughtering begin.

For everyone's sanity, Biden hopefully wins Florida and North Carolina early in the night.

[BudgieForce]

Sorry for the double post, but do we know if Wisconsin and Michigan are going to start canvasing mail in ballots on election day morning?

[Non Swing Voter]

Folks, we are less than 100 hours away from Election Day.  I wonder if it will get to 100 million votes beforehand.

More CO reg Dems have now voted (779K) than the Election Day mail ballot report in 2016 (753K). There were actually slightly more reg Reps who voted in 2016, but they are currently about 150K shy of their 2016 total
