Democrats have begun running up a lopsided advantage in early voting as well as absentee ballot requests, in an election what has seen an unprecedented split on voting strategy and furious attacks by the president on mail-voting.
The advantage is pronounced in the battleground states that will decide the election, and that are attracting candidate visits and a TV air war.
The differential in absentee ballot requests has hit three-to-one in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, two states that President Donald Trump won in 2016 that Joe Biden is hoping to strip back.
The advantage in the Keystone state has extended to ballot requests by people who didn't vote in 2016. A total of 175,000 Democrats who skipped 2016 have asked for ballots, more than double the number of Republicans, Politico reported.
The Democratic lead in ballot requests in Florida a state Trump carried where Biden is making a run and holding a slight lead in the polls is 700,000.
A similar dynamic is playing out in Ohio, a state Trump carried that lies just outside the 'blue wall' of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania that Democrats are focused on.
The Democratic advantage has carried over to key counties in Ohio, Statehouse News reported.
In strongly Republican Warren County, Republicans and Democrats are running about even in ballot requests. But Republicans accounted for three times as many requests four years ago.

If half (and probably more) of the country after the election believes the Dems stole the election, then most Americans will have lost faith in the election process, will have lost faith in American democracy, and will have lost hope that they have the ability to choose their leaders or change the direction of their country.
The expectation will be from here on out that everything is rigged, everything is a lie.
The social contract will have been broken.
Regular, everyday citizens will not feel compelled to obey laws or pay taxes because it’s the “right thing to do” or because it supports order and the common good.
There will be no more “right thing to do” other than every man for himself (younger generations, especially Antifa and BLM types are already at this point.)
There will be very little order and the common good will be undefinable.
What will living in that America be like?
How would we ever get back what we had, if that were even possible?
So much for a secret ballot.
But will all those Dems vote for crime, chaos and death?
democrats are cheating, like they always do.
Hopefully every republican that didn’t vote in 2016 does so this year.
There is ZERO need for mail in ballots or early voting for weeks on end, it’s all designed for vote harvesting. Period. Hold a damn elections over two days on the weekend. If people can’t get to the polls in person over a Saturday and Sunday the that’s their problem and they can request an absentee ballot which is less likely to be used for fraud.
This is all bullshit.
It would be nice if they mailed these ballots in AFTER the first debate. I guess the Dems can not chance that.
But, but our idiot SOS is mailing me a ballot application because CCPviris will kill me if I vote in person, but not at the local BLM riot. What am I supposed to do?
I doubt anyone is undecided at this point and as I said this same thing happened in 2016.
The fix is in and the mediapuke snakes are programming people for the election heist weeks after! I wish Republicans would play the same game! Im so tired of bending over and taking it! Our nation survival depends on us fighting back somehow... yes even if we have to cheat!
Democrats plan on voting by mail and Republicans plan on voting in person. The only problem is that Democrat governors are already planning on closing a high number of voting locations and they will allow the mobs to obstruct, harass and intimidate voters going in person. I think Trump was right. The best option may be to request a mail in ballot, take it directly to a ballot drop off location and then go in person to make sure it was tabulated.
Good news.... they already got their ballots so there is no reason for counting after the election date.
Democrats ALWAYS have a huge advantage in mail-in voting. Even when they lose, like Hillary did in 2016. So it’s a meaningless headline. It’s like saying water is wet.
Most people I know (Democrat AND Republican) are planning to vote in person.
What matters is how the number of mail-in requests compares to what happened in 2016, especially when broken down by party. What also matters is how many (R) voters decide to go vote in person on election day.
This means nothing. The dems are completely afraid of the pandemic, or should I say Dem Panic. Most wont leave their house unless they can set a fire to burn the germs, any Molotov cocktail will do.
Are you referring to that essay ‘Broken Glass’?
Vote twice by mail and in person. That was the Democrats are going to do. Best way to tie up the election results. We do everything the Democrats are going to do.
And where’s the proof these previously non-voting democrats were the ones making the request and not the DNC basement squads who want the ballots so they can fix them up before the election? No proof at all.
