Less than two weeks out from Election Day, more than 8 million people nationwide have voted early in the 2018 midterms.

The current nationwide total of early or absentee ballots counted — 8,156,995 — exceeds the 2016 total from two weeks before Election Day (Oct. 26, 2016) by over 200,000, according to data provided by TargetSmart and independently analyzed by the NBC News Data Analytics Lab.

Nationally (among all states with early voting activity so far), Republican-affiliated voters make up 44 percent of the early voting electorate and Democratic-affiliated voters make up 40 percent of the early voting electorate.

Republicans are outpacing Democrats nationally, a change compared to two weeks out from Election Day in 2016 when Democrats were outpacing Republicans.

Warning, Warning, Warning to GOP.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT take the “early voting” numbers of any barometer of total polling by end of election day.

The GOP has a not good record on its get out the vote with boots on the ground efforts ON ELECTION day, and the Dims ALWAYS do better there.

GOP, do not get lazy or confident from any rosy reports. Remain scared of losing and get out the vote.

The reason why Trump won in 2016 was because he had a movement. The media could not understand this and still cannot. The Trump movement is highly motivated now to vote for Republicans as a way of reaffirming their vote for Trump.
