More Americans headed to the polls over the weekend of Oct. 26 to cast their ballot in the 2024 presidential election. Various reports put the early voting total at around 40 million ballots cast and counting, with eight days to go before Election Day.

According to the web tracker Target Early, as of Monday, Oct. 28, 39.4 million Americans cast ballots, with registered Democrats holding about a 1 million vote edge overall. CNN reported the early voting figure has hit 40.7 million ballots cast.

... on her way to over 90 million ballots counted for her. I won't call them "votes" because a good number of them won't be actual votes.

The disruptions on Election Day are going to be historic and not in our favor.

Your gloom and doom is speculation.

You might want to label it as such.

That Election Day stat doesn’t mention ‘mail in votes’ which is where the shenanigans are buried

Most states reporting early voting specifically are talking about mail-in ballots. In fact, a few states reporting early voting are ONLY reporting mail-in (or dropbox) and not including in-person early voting.

In-person early voting in W(BG)V started last Wednesday. I and Mrs. Mountain voted on Saturday.

1) Parking lot was crowded and line was long.
2) Elections officials are very solicitous of disabled people.
3) New voting machines this year. Ballot selections are made on a touch screen, using the “official voting tool” (an unsharpened No. 2 pencil. Touch the screen with the eraser. Works great.) Voting machine prints a human readable paper ballot; voter feeds said ballot into the ballot box.
4) I think Mr. Trump will earn W(BG)V’s 4 electors by a huge margin. I also think we will send Mr. Jim Justice (and Babydog) to the US Senate ... a huge improvement over the execrable Joe Manchin.

And to all you retarded RINOs and Far-lefties, you only have nine days left to publicly endorse the Jamaican/Indian/Canadian Voodoo Hoodoo to impress your comrades.

The mail in votes (sent out and received) are part of the Pew poll and also part of the state reporting.

The data is all there.

Correct—all the details on the state reporting can be found at this link:

https://election.lab.ufl.edu/early-vote/2024-early-voting/

Some states have just started early in person voting—we will see more significant numbers this week in those states.

39.4 million Americans have voted. How many non-citizens have voted?

I voted earlier today--only about a 20 minute wait.

So all the Republicans voting early are voting for Harris???? Sounds like wishful thinking on the part of NBC

In Pennsylvania, the rate of Republicans voting early has gone up by 10% from 2020 to 30% in 2024.

I live in a swing county in PA and I voted early. The lines at the walk-in stations were incredible. Jammed. The parking lots were zoos. You had to fill out a form and come back two hours later to get the ballot. In other years, you filled out the form and got the ballot in 10 minutes. Something is going on in Pennsylvania. I'm not sure if that "something" is pro-Trump or pro-Harris. I would not automatically think its Dems cheating. My hunch is that its pro-Trump.

Big, big problem for cheating. 1) the winner will be known well before election night; 2) If you entire electorate has already voted, ANY additional ballot “found” anywhere can now be successfully challenged.

As with most things, THIS particular post-Obama DemoKKKrat party is clueless, evil, and totally incompetent. They let in millions of illegals and legal (mostly hispanic) immigrants over the years, ONLY TO DISCOVER, GEE, they VOTE REPUBLICAN! Florida is forever gone to DemoKKKrats because of this.

They hyped (and cheated through) early voting. Then the GOP said “We can play too,” and now is threatening to WIN the early vote everywhere.

(Psst: all of you who oppose the early vote and want just election day? The quickest way to get that is to beat them in the early vote. Suddenly it will be “racist” to vote early).

These are the same chode-smoking, spoogepeddling, pus-gargling nimrod enabling morons who told the DNC they could knock Trump out of the campaign with “Lawfare” and thus “you don’t have to remove Rutabaga” in 2023. Oops.

This is the same group of scabpickles who allowed Rutabaga to pick Cackles as his veep.

THEY. ARE. NOT. SMART. Zero’s or Clinton’s teams (Bill, not Cankles) would NEVER have fallen into any of these traps. Now they have likely lost the WH for Trump, then 8 years of Vance.

MEANWHILE, the Rs and red states were cheated in the census in 2020. I have a feeling that won’t happen again. We lost 15-25 EVs. Most of those will be restored with good, er, MANAGEMENT from Vance, and in 2030, the “normal” census data will hand yet another 6 EVs to the red states. In short, 2028 is the last election where the DemoKKKrats even have a hope of stealing the EV.

Finally, the # of people seeing 2020 as an illegal government crackdown on patriotic Americans is right at 50%. So they are losing that narrative, too.

As someone once warned, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up.”
I wonder who 0ba⋔a really wanted for his VP running mate back in 2008.
