Putin will see to that.

The Democrats typically lead Republicans in early voting during midterm and presidential election cycles. In 2016 the Democratic lead in early voting was such that it inspired major news outlets, AP for example, to run articles with titles like “Early voting: More good signs for Clinton in key states.” Among the states in which early voting portended a victory for Hillary, according to AP, were Florida and North Carolina. The story went on to quote her spokesperson as follows: “The Clinton campaign describes both North Carolina and Florida as ‘checkmate’ states.” Trump won both of course.
Oddly, most of the major media have been reluctant to report early voting trends in the current cycle. AP has reported on it only when there are vague complaints about alleged voting machine problems.

... On Monday NBC reported, “The data suggests enthusiasm among early GOP voters that could put a dent in Democratic hopes for a ‘blue wave’ in the midterms.” Early GOP voters were leading Democrats by large margins in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee, and Texas.
(snip)
The current nationwide total of early or absentee ballots counted exceeds the 2016 total from two weeks before Election Day.… 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.
So, there are two unusual phenomena associated with this year’s early voting — the overall participation has been far higher than is usually the case in a midterm election, and Republican ballots are materializing in significantly higher numbers.

Even NC is better than 2016.

Is that a rhetorical question?
After seven days, about 716,000 NC voters have cast an early vote in person or by mail. That’s 10% of all registered voters. Democrats have cast 43% of the votes; Republicans, 30%; Unaffiliated, 26%. But as a percentage of party registration, there’s not much difference: Democrats, 12%; Republicans, 10%; Unaffiliated, 8%. So far, most counties have dropped in turnout from 2014, the last mid-term election.
You're welcome!
Yup me too.
In our county in SE FL, all the early voting polls are listed by location and total votes per day. Those located in the most depressed areas have by far the least traffic. One other poll that is among the lowest is located near the campus of Florida Atlantic U.
Here’s the key data comparing 18 to 16.

The MSM will never report that Republicans are winning. Because the MSM is not impartially objective, it is partisan.
I’ve been contacting my Twitter/FB/GAB/Minds bros a lot these past two weeks.
They come from the entire political spectrum and their vibe from the ground level says this midterm DOES NOT fit the blue wave meme the Dems are claiming. On the contrary, we’re in for quite a few surprises election night.
GOP ground game looks good: Got two calls already and a knock visit last week. That typically doesn’t happen in my neck of the woods as my area is blue but apparently turning purple. I think the GOP smells blood and believes it will pick up state senate seats.
Monthly county GOP meeting looked much younger and far more vibrant. Someone lit a fire and his name is Trump.
Local dems look tired and not very inspired. Looks like they’re just mailing it in.
If you thought the 2016 OMG looks on the MSM faces were bad you ain’t seen nothing yet. Truly, a boner deflater night.
The Young Turks heads are gonna be exploding with rage.
Just my local anecdotal observations.
I couldn’t believe my ears listening to Matt Walsh - a talk radio show I do not normally listen to but was out driving around late - saying all of the data shows the Democrats are voting more and have voted more in EVERY primary since Trump was elected. That’s just not true. Then he attacked Sean Hannity saying that he has been saying for the last 18 months the Democrats have no chance of winning and only in the last 2 weeks has started urging people to vote...that also is not in the least bit true on both counts.
Like I said, I don’t normally listen to his show and see no reason to change that based on what I was listening to.
Yeah, that’s a real puzzler.

So, you’re forecasting that Mueller will drop a bomb next Friday, not only the bomb, but the day he’ll do so.
And then you’re forecasting that Trump will announce his tax cut the same Friday, only later.
I’d say the odds of that all working out for you are at least one in a thousand, and probably considerably higher than that.
Putin will see to that.
It is sort of like that recall in Wisconsin. So far, at least.
I think the cemetery and nursing home population usually votes by absentee ballot. That says a lot about what the legitimate vote is dong.
They are not showing up in high numbers and their approval ratings for Trump ar multiples of what they were for any Republican in the last decades.
I’m glad you migrated away from Democrat party. They are the party of innocents’ deaths.
Spose they gonna blame the Rooskies again?
I voted 3 times!/sarc
Couldn’t hardly wait. I think I was
the first to vote in my prescient.
