I had seen that but you contended the absentee ballots had passed the total votes in the primary and not the total ABSENTEE VOTES, which is saying something entirely different.
In any case the absentee requests had not come from any particularly Dem areas as opposed to Rewp areas so nothing can be drawn by this story.
Go here. This may give you a bit more of a balanced perspective on this subject.
From the linked article.
“Early voting has soared in the past few major elections, driven by voter courting from both major parties who have seen tactical advantages in getting the vote out before election day.
But Wisconsin’s unusual schedule in this recall election, with an early June election day, has something to do with the push to vote early.
“Obviously, school is over for some people and will be by June 5 for others, so that may affect the number of absentee ballots,” said Reid Magney, GAB spokesman.
That means a lot of Wisconsin voters will be boating or fishing or traveling — anywhere but a polling booth.
