Democrats have huge edge in early mail-in voting with massive leads in number of ballots requested and leap among those who didn't vote in 2016

Democrats have begun running up a lopsided advantage in early voting as well as absentee ballot requests, in an election what has seen an unprecedented split on voting strategy and furious attacks by the president on mail-voting.

The advantage is pronounced in the battleground states that will decide the election, and that are attracting candidate visits and a TV air war.

The differential in absentee ballot requests has hit three-to-one in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, two states that President Donald Trump won in 2016 that Joe Biden is hoping to strip back.

The advantage in the Keystone state has extended to ballot requests by people who didn't vote in 2016. A total of 175,000 Democrats who skipped 2016 have asked for ballots, more than double the number of Republicans, Politico reported.

The Democratic lead in ballot requests in Florida – a state Trump carried where Biden is making a run and holding a slight lead in the polls – is 700,000.

A similar dynamic is playing out in Ohio, a state Trump carried that lies just outside the 'blue wall' of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania that Democrats are focused on.

The Democratic advantage has carried over to key counties in Ohio, Statehouse News reported.

In strongly Republican Warren County, Republicans and Democrats are running about even in ballot requests. But Republicans accounted for three times as many requests four years ago.

I refuse to vote early or mail a ballot.

I love voting on election day. I want to see my ballot fed into the machine. (although I probably doubt that the machines will not be tampered with)

That’s because Trump voters don’t trust the mail and plan to vote in person, while Dem voters tend to be COVID hysteric even now.

No one knows WHO they voted for, however.

I’ve received two phony promotions by the corrupt Whitmer administration (MI) and an official looking mail-in ballot request counterfeit Dem promotion one.

Thus, millions of Dems are getting these and are sending them in to boost the wave of unstoppable Biden enthusiasm. Which is total BS.

Thing they may not take into account is many of these may be traditional Dems who are simply opposing Marxism and scared where we may be heading.

The cemeteries, prisons and Cartels are cranking out ballots faster than they can be printed. Their goal is 800,000,000 votes for Biden.

Heard the same thing in 2016 about the huge number of early votes for Clinton. It doesn’t matter if a vote is made now or on Nov 3. In fact the earlier the mail in ballots are sent in the more time is available to make sure they are legitimate.

I am not worried. Based on the Democrats I know, these are the ONLY votes coming. All of them are too COVID-terrified to go outside.

Trump will win 45 states.

Doesn't mean they will all vote (D). I'd bet a majority will vote (R)....................
