Is the "blue wave" turning purple?

Republican-affiliated voters have outpaced Democratic-affiliated voters in early voting in seven closely-watched states, according to data provided by TargetSmart and independently analyzed by the NBC News Data Analytics Lab.

GOP-affiliated voters have surpassed Democratic-affiliated ones in early voting in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Montana, Tennessee and Texas, the data showed.

Only in Nevada have Democratic-affiliated voters exceeded Republican-affiliated voters so far in early voting, according to the data.

I voted from Spain for the Georgia election. It costs me about 2 Euros in postage each time I vote and a trip to the post office, well worth the time and money.

Need to distinguish early voting from mail in voting (what used to be called absentee ballot). Absentee ballots typically dominated by Republicans, day of election turnout usually dominated by Republicans, actual early voting (not absentee) is where Dems usually hold an edge in competitive states like FL.

Nope, more like a dark red, crimson or cherry red.

Early voting, same-day registration, drive-up voting, no ID voting, electronic voting - all are invitations to fraud.

Close. The blue wave never existed.

I just voted about 15 minutes ago (South Georgia) and asked the ladies about turnout so far.

Response: Unusually large turnout.

We will only lose to rampant fraud, over confidence and complacency. Disregard the purple and red comments. We need to get turnout as if we are 10 points behind.

Yup. President Trump may have to hold another rally or three in Nevada to carry Heller across the line. We don’t want the Demoncrats to win anything.

Not really. Very convenient for those people who work long hours especially on election day. I vote early just in case I’m stuck at work Tuesday November 6th.

I cannot confirm MT or IN. The IN SecState site won’t let me in. All others good, except we think that the NV numbers are probably on the low side for Rs.

That’s weird, because Rs behind in Washoe vs. 2016, but ahead in Clark.

Given that there was a shift of 30k net to the Rs, it “could” indicate that a lot of Ds in Clark switched. Could also be a lot of Washoe Ds are voting R. No way to tell. All we know is that the rural areas haven’t come in yet, and those are hugely red.

I think Donnelly and Testicles are finished.

AZ GOP “worried” by terrible performance of Ds. Concerned there is something up with the low turnout. I told them not to be, that it is a NATIONAL phenomenon.

Now brace yourselves for the ballot box stuffing to begin!

We’ll see 189% of the registered Democrats voting on election day!
