Why Clinton and Democrats Are So Keen on Early Voting

Democrats are out in force to ensure their supporters vote early. Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook boasted that he had hopes to build an insurmountable lead in early voting in key battleground states that will cut off any viable path for Donald Trump to become president, according to The Hill:

Nevada, North Carolina and Florida could all be decided before Election Day because of historic spikes in early voting, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said Thursday.

"We are encouraging supporters to cast their vote early because it is possible ... that we could build an insurmountable lead in those key states before Election Day," Mook said on a press call with reporters.

Wins in those three states would make it very difficult to imagine an Electoral College scenario in which Trump, the Republican nominee, would win the White House.

Victories in North Carolina, which Republican Mitt Romney won in 2012, and Florida are especially important.

Mook estimated that 40 percent of votes in those battleground states could be cast before Election Day.

"So that's why we're not just encouraging everyone to vote and to make sure they vote, but to take advantage of early voting," he said.

For example, 2.7 million Floridians have already requested to vote by mail, compared to the 1.8 million who have done so at the same time of the 2012 election cycle.

Despite claims by Democrats about the importance of informed voters, the party seems to be making a concerted and very expensive effort to get people to vote as early as the various states’ laws allow them.

Voter fraud. The unions, and dems everywhere have figured out how to stuff the ballot boxes.

[alloysteel]

Short answer - they shouldn’t have to buy or manufacture one more damned vote than they need as of Election Day.

Mooky Moron Mook you’re losing that battle as it stands now in key battleground states.

I believe either a civil war will break out after Hitlery is anointed or we submit.

[Kaslin]

That could very well be.

Voter fraud is the only way the rats can win an election.

[Ann Archy]

VOTE FRAUD...pure and simple.

[JimRed]

So they can estimate how many votes the need to create or steal.

“So they can estimate how many votes the need to create or steal.”

Or how many times activists and the dead need to vote ...

40 percent of votes in those battleground states could be cast before Election Day and often it’s how democrats win.

[Heart of Georgia]

I imagine it’s tough for the dems to coordinate their knock-n-drag efforts of lazy voters, along with busing hoards of illegals to the polls on election day.

Therefore, early voting makes their shenanigans on election day much easier.

Not well explained. The reason is that the polls have her comfortably ahead right now. Who knows what tomorrow’s bombshell will be? But if they’ve already voted it makes no difference.
