We conservatives have had a love-hate relationship with the polls this election season. I suppose that’s always the case, but the speculation of a red wave has made this year’s polling a bigger area of interest than in other years.
However, as the midterm elections draw ever closer, the GOP is seeing some encouraging signs from early voting data. And, while early voting numbers aren’t always the best indicator of how things will really go, the trends we’re seeing this year are encouraging.
On Friday night, I attended an event where Erick Erickson talked about the state of play after the first few weeks of early voting in some states. He had spent a good chunk of the day on the phone with experts to share trends with the eager audience, and the trends we’re seeing so far can bring conservatives some comfort.
Since he lives in Georgia and the event took place just north of Atlanta, the focus of the night’s announcements was the Peach State. The top counties in terms of turnout have been in GOP-friendly areas, which is a new phenomenon for early voting in Georgia, which Democrats tend to favor over voting on Election Day.
Erickson compared voting patterns to grocery shopping, at least in Georgia. He said that, much in the same way that shoppers buy the same items at the same stores, Democrats tend to vote early, while Republicans tend to wait until Election Day. This year, that pattern isn’t bearing out the same way.
So far, 26.7% of the early voting totals have been black voters, which is down from the typical black turnout, which usually runs above 30%. Most of the black turnout has been men, 33% of whom will vote for Herschel Walker, according to polling.

Biden will take care of her. She'll get some kind of job in the regime while she plots her next move. She's a black, female Charlie Crist.
The only people who should be voting by mail are
People who are physically unable to get to the polls;
People who will unavoidably be out of town on Election Day; and
Poll watchers.
New York used to be like that. The Democrats kept trying to beat Rockefeller by running to his left. Had they come up with a reasonable, middle-of-the-road candidate who could get to Rocky’s right on a couple of issues, they might have won.
Each time, Rockefeller’s vote/margin declined, thanks not to the Democrats, but to the Conservative Party.
I’m voting on Election Day. Unless I decide to be a poll watcher. (Long day, but decent money. Much better paying than jury duty.)

Not even “Let’s go Brnadon” but the REAL one.
Vote as late as possible. Make it hard on them.
Connecticut isn’t entirely off the table either. LOOOONG shot, but not off the table.
