Democrats falling short in swing states, early voting statistics show
The Washington Times ^ | October 27, 2020 | Seth McLaughlin

New early voting data showed Democrats failing to hit their mark in several battleground states, giving Trump campaign officials more reasons for optimism Tuesday as President Trump rallied voters in key Midwestern states and Democrat Joseph R. Biden made a play for traditionally red Georgia.

In Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Arizona, Democrats are falling short of their target of 70% of early votes cast either in-person or by mail. That’s the lead they hoped to build up to stave off an expected higher Republican turnout on Election Day.

“The Democrats have not opened up a large enough lead in the early vote totals, and they know it,” said Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh. “They have now realized that they put too many eggs in the vote-by-mail basket, and they’re not hitting the marks they need.”

Campaigning in battleground Michigan, which does not track partisan affiliation of early voting, Mr. Trump said he’s pulled ahead by 3 percentage points, apparently referring to internal campaign polling. Mr. Biden leads by an average of 9 points in public polls.

“We’re going to have a great red wave,” said Mr. Trump, who also had campaign stops on Tuesday in Wisconsin and Nebraska. “It’s happening in Florida. Right now we’re leading almost everywhere. I gotta say, I’m working my ass off.”

Mr. Biden, campaigning in Georgia, told supporters that it’s “‘go’ time!”

“There is one week left. Over 60 million Americans have already voted and millions more by the end of this week,” Mr. Biden said at a drive-in rally in Atlanta. “I believe when you use your power, the power to vote, it will change the course of this country right here in Georgia with all of you...

Just saw where CBS is doing an hour long infomercial with a plethora of left-wing celebrities to push GOTV Thursday night.

The problem is the Dems scared their voters with covid. It’s like: “if you vote in person, you’ll die so just do VBM”, so they won’t go in-person. Republicans, on the other hand, are just gearing up with in-person voting, with the peak hitting on election day.

Hopefully Biden will spend the rest of the week in Georgia... He’s not going to win there.

the problem is the had a cheat system in play called mail in ballots but the courts have haulted extended counting in many swing states. We just need to go back to SCOTUS for PA., or else PA is going Biden with mail in fraud.

Yes, Reps are appealing that one. With ACB on Scotus now, there’s some hope.

Trump: "I gotta say, I’m working my ass off.”

I'm four years younger than Trump. Where does he get his energy?

I was thinking the same thing.

The other problem the Dems didn’t anticipate is the obstacle voting by mail creates for their GOTV effort. “I voted by mail” can now be the equivalent of “I gave at the office” as an excuse to be left alone when the Democrat GOTV brigade comes knocking.

Trump, with his enthusiasm advantage, will not have that problem.

Keep it simple stupid will never not be the best solution to most problems. The final debate, Trump’s final happy warrior stretch and overall trends seem to be pretty encouraging for our side. If the best the media has against Trump in the final stretch is covid stuff, I am feeling pretty good.

His health and energy seem supernatural. I hope he doesn’t stroke out.
