In Georgia, 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. Erickson said that if early voting trends hold up, Walker could win without a runoff.
As far as the governor’s race is concerned, Democrats have abandoned Stacey Abrams in terms of active campaigning. They see the writing on the wall, even if her campaign staff doesn’t.
“We’ll finally be rid of Stacey Abrams,” Erickson said to raucous applause.
Early voted today in Texas. Thousands of people nearby, no parking anywhere, polling place was ghost town... maybe 1 person showing up every minute, with 50 available booths.
So far there was zero evidence average joes/Janes are motivated and turnout looks like it will be below average.
2020 General election (mask required/height of Covid), same point in early voting, 1 Hr+ wait with 800 people in line.
2022 Winners will be determined by the politally motivated, not the Gen pop.
That Democrats engage in Election Fraud and Cheating.
Lowwwww turnout in California so far.
This favors conservatives generally.
Here’s hoping.
Then on the morning after the election, "Well, this is certainly a surprise!"
I voted already. I will have something to say after the fact. If you didn’t vote, don’t even talk to me, you have no right.
From the “New York Intelligencer,” Oct. 28, 2022:
“More than 15 million voters have already cast their midterm ballots, according to the United States Elections Project. But young voters have contributed to a smaller fraction of that turnout compared to this time two years ago, according to interviews and a POLITICO analysis of voter data.”
Dems vote early, Republicans wait to Election day.
Most of the difference between the two is explained by who has a good ground game. I had a good ground game in 2013 for local candidates. That ground game produced the extra votes each day for 4 weeks. Stacy had a good ground game in 2020. It is that simple.
Stacy’s ground game, her army of volunteers is not a large or motivated now, as in 2020.
There are many, many factors that go into a winning campaign. And each factor can be explained.
Wife and I early voted yesterday (Fri 10/28) at about 10:30AM, NE GA. Well over half of the voting stations were being used and there were people coming and going at a constant pace. For a weekday morning it was impressive. Heavy turnout in N.GA is good news because this is MAGA country, home to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump pulled 70%-80% in a lot counties up here.
I early voted on Wednesday. Not too worried since this is Florida which in 2020 handled the election CORRECTLY. However, Broward County now has a Democrat as elections supervisor in contrast to a fair 2020 supervisor who was appointed by governor in response to our county mysteriously “finding” Andrew Gillum ballots for days after the election.
What is it telling us?? That the Dems are going down to defeat even in Blue states!!

A sizeable portion of liberals have no ability to connect bad societal outcomes to leftist doctrine. They are only able to connect the bad outcomes with the liberals in power.
You will never get these liberals to vote for a conservative. Your only hope is that they will be discouraged enough to stay home on election day.
The polls are favoring Republicans, the trend line in most of them is moving in a Republican direction, early voting is encouraging. People are monitoring drop boxes to try to prevent fraud. Things are looking red.
Turnout is high in Republican areas, and remember, Republicans usually outvote Democrats on Election Day, so if the early voting is favoring Republicans, the wave is turning into a tsunami. Things are looking red.
AND -- polls (FWIW) show an unusually high percentage of black voters voting Republican. Some polls are showing as much as 21 percent. If Republicans can get in the 20 percent range with black voters, there just aren't enough snooty elitist white folks to counter that.
