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.

Early voting has the unfortunate effect of allowing tactics to shore up flagging results. Early R advantage? Ds will bring votes out for winnable-but-behind areas, be it by “get out the vote”, “vote early & often”, “illegals are people too”, or “bring out your dead”.
I get the point of early voting, but thanks to corruption & gaming it should be a one-day snapshot of electoral sentiment.

MSM says Dems must fraud harder. List of states included to preclude confusion as to where the fraud needs to be upped.

I just hope we have enough votes to keep Abrams out of the Governor’s office.

Voted early at my precinct in Dalonega.
I was #2,332. Not many dem signs around here.

Jobs, not MOBS!

Speedy you got early voting numbers by day in FL? Didn’t you put them all on a website somewhere?

Very curious how they line up with what we’re seeing today in FL. Thanks

The illegal Hispanic population of Clark County can turn almost ANY election.

The website is here: https://fr-companion.wixsite.com/fr-companion

I just updated it to track In-Person early voting. Looks like a couple thousand votes from a couple of counties today. Won’t have good comparison numbers until more counties open up in-person.

I’ll update the website each morning.

I heard, on our local Houston news break, that the Harris County and surrounding counties are experiencing MUCH higher early voting turn out, than usual!!

Woo hoo!!

Thanks for the link.

there’s a lot more votes out there that haven’t been fed to the state yet. I’ll have an update tonight after EV is done for the day but it looks really strong for us.

yeah glancing at individual counties looks very favorable especially compared to 2016

Some of those counties in FL are amazing - constantly updating.

“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.“

Worried about what? That they might actually win?

How do they determine party affiliation in GA? It’s not declared here.

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

Response: Unusually large turnout.


NE GA here. Same question & answer.
