Lies, dammed lies, and statistics.
IMO, I don't care if x% more Dem ballots are requested than last year. What I care about is that there are x% more Republican ballots cast.
there is a thought, (which goes both ways) that a lot of dim voters in the south are longtime residents who were dims in the 60s/70s then starting voting Republican but never changed their affiliation...i have no way of proving how this may relate to mail in voting and just throwing it out there...
