The top area on the list, Manassas Park City, is a geographically small area independent of neighboring FFX and PW counties, and about 25 miles out of DC. It has been a haven for illegals, and is an ugly, dirty, area. However, it is interesting that it is at the top of the list. In talking to people who know the area fairly well, it has been undergoing a bit of a demographic shift, as rising real estate prices have driven commuters further and further from the city, and into areas such as this.

There are two possible explanations for this early voting. One is that illegals, as well as hispanic immigrants, are voting in droves. The other is that the increase in white and, I believe, Asian, residents in Manassas Park are accounting for the increase. The former is bad for Trump. But the latter is good. I would note that I drove through the area recently, as well as the similar areas of Manassas, and saw more little confederate flags than Hillary bumper stickers (it was 2 to 1, LOL). And Don’t Tread on Me license plates are everywhere out there. So even though it is a very Democratic area, it is not monolithic, and this early voting could easily be conservatives who are fed up.
