I preface this post by cautioning that it is still too early to draw firm conclusions from mail-in requests, but North Carolina numbers at this time look promising.

The good news is that the Democrats appear to be overwhelmingly cannibalizing their election day vote, which is occurring because Democrat PACS/DNC have been pounding their voters to vote by mail b/c of the China Virus. Meanwhile, Republicans may be holding on to their mail-in ballots to cast them in-person. Continued below..

Imagine an older covid scared dem voter when an Antifa-looking person comes knocking on the door. What’s the reaction? In these days of covid and violence, do they answer the door? Do they hand over their ballot in fright? Do they promise to vote Biden after listening politely?
