With nine days before Election Day, more people already have cast ballots in this years presidential election than voted early or absentee in the 2016 race as the start of in-person early voting in big states led to a surge in turnout in recent days.
The opening of early voting locations in Florida, Texas and elsewhere has piled millions of new votes on top of the mail ballots arriving at election offices as voters try to avoid crowded places on Nov. 3 during the coronavirus pandemic.
The result is a total of 58.6 million ballots cast so far, more than the 58 million that The Associated Press logged as being cast through the mail or at in-person early voting sites in 2016.
Democrats have continued to dominate the initial balloting, but Republicans are narrowing the gap. GOP voters have begun to show up as early in-person voting, a sign that many heeded President Donald Trumps unfounded warnings about mail-voting fraud.

Trump is going to win!
No one loves his supporters like Trump and his supporters love him!
HidenandHo the way we goooo.....right into the shitter for Basement Biden
He loves underground areas anyway. The lower the cesspool, the better.
Hes better off there anyway. He doesnt even remember who he was supposed to be running against anyway.
HI DEN HO are in trouble.
COVID 2.0 will be used to shutdown in-person voting. That with mail-in voting fraud will result in a Biden win.
I contributed money to Trump and voted for him yesterday. This nation is in the balance. Vote early, vote often.
They can’t pull “COVID 2.0” like they just did over in Europe. The courts have struck down just about all of that. There will be no Biden win.
I hope you are right. However, if you check the MSM, they are claiming that the number of COVID positive tests are at an all time high.
If this claim is embraced by the MSM, then in-person voting will be limited.
Stop clutching your pearls Trump supporters would walk over broken glass to vote for him, they can NOT close polling stations it is against the law!!!
Dont overestimate the MSMs power here.
Looking at Florida numbers it is unbelievable. Locked up. We got this!
You cry like a little girl in your first sentence on how biden will win.
Then why did you donate money?
You didn’t say MIGHT result in a biden win.
You said will.
Tired of the fruits and pearl clutchers around here
What happens if it rains buckets on election day? What happens if the virus continues to spike and a lockdown is declared? What happens if no lockdown is declared but people are intimidated from voting not by law but by common sense, at least common sense as they understand it? What happens if someone such as myself with a bad knee and a bad hip decides he cannot stand in line for nine hours?
What happens if the margin of victory or defeat is 20,000 votes or fewer?
My nerves are on edge by these early returns as are many good Freepers who ask common sense questions that should not mark the questioner for rebuke.
As our Great President said. He is down 1 Percent go VOTE.
Sooner the better
I keep hearing that the DEMs have cannibalized their Election Day voting. But isn’t that also true of the GOP to some degree? Some make it sound like the GOP will fair exceed their usual early voting patterns *plus* their usual Election Day voting. Seems a bit optimistic.
*far exceed
2 years ago I had an unexpected gig come up (I teach Microsoft stuff) so I went to my county courthouse and voted absentee.
Many states allow this.
And there was no wait whatsoever, but they did make me prove who I was.
Didn’t mean to hit post yet...
So this week I’ll be helping folks who want to vote early this way due to issues by driving them to the court house.

Why do I think you were not voting in Philadelphia?
Dems have been convinced; somehow; that an EARLY vote is worth more; or maybe they will run out of ballots before THEY get to vote; or some other shiny news object.
