The potential down side to this, and it has happened to the Democrats before is, these Early votes come potentially at the expense of the Election Day votes. Its something of a zero sum game. If we are taking it as a show of enthusiasm, I guess that’s one thing.

Secret democrat plan according to three sources and nine people who have access to this data. Instead of democrats doing their normal early turnout, they are all going to vote on Election Day. In many ways this is a disaster for republicans.
” Its something of a zero sum game.”
true, but if the trend for regular voting matches early voting, then Dems still behind by 5% ...
Not going to happen. I have worked on many campaigns. Trump is pulling out the irregular Republican voters, e.g., blue collar, working class, downscale whites. The older, traditional Republican base always shows up to vote, whether they are excited or not, out of a sense of civic duty.
Of course all votes are equal, but if we can match the Democrats in early voting, it is likely we will win on Nov.6th as well.
