Nice improvement from 2012. We don't know exactly how everyone is voting but we can make guesses.

That’s what I thought, too. Not so good.

DEM voters are too stupid to understand Voter ID, but it would appear they have no issues whatsoever about obtaining absentee ballots. Rrriiiggghhhttt!!!

Not sure of the difference between requested and sent. Should be more to this story.

Less than half of the absentee requests for the Democrats from four years ago. Obviously can’t make a solid estimate on voting, but those numbers suggest the Dems ain’t too keen on Miss Pneumonia.

Compared to 2012, though, that’s almost 50,000 LESS Democrat ballots. I’d say that’s a GOOD sign.

Still too many Dems — of course these days many of them figured out Hillary and hopefully won’t vote for her.

But as someone pointed out — still too many opportunities for fraud with the absentee ballots.

Absentee balloting is the primary tool used by Democrats for voter fraud.

They have illegal aliens (fraudulently registered) use them to escape suspicion at the polls.

They also use them for sick/deceased registrants they know won’t be making it to the polls.

Again you don’t seem to understand. They always lead heavily in absentee votes but this year that lead is much smaller like 2014 when Ernst won. This is not 2012/2008 Iowa.

2nd day of absentee requests in 2014: D-63,485; R-33,073; I-25,271

Hope you can see the big picture now.

I hate early voting. Show up on the day!

Only people who should get absentee ballots is military and businessmen who can prove they will be out of town that day.

Otherwise show up on the day!

does D stand for Deceased voters, or just DopedUp voters?

Thanks for the info, that makes sense. Gives a better feel of the lack of D enthusiasm this time around.

All requests are sent whether it’s today or tomorrow. I assume every registered eligible voter requesting an absentee can obtain one. This is a yuge thing in Iowa.

Actually, what’s disappointing is the equally massive dropoff in Republican absentee requests. Where’s the supposed enthusiasm for Trump here?

Not from 2012. Perhaps from 2014.
