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.
The notable splits come during an election season when President Trump has repeatedly attacked mail-in voting as 'rife with fraud.' His campaign is in court seeking to stop mail ballots from going to all Nevada voters.
Trump has said mail voters 'cheat,' although evidence of actual mail fraud is rare. He also has attacked the postal service, which is charged with delivering mail-in ballots by election deadlines.

How would they already know this?
Politico and the Hill are the vanguard of the Democrats for print presentations.
Rare and significant are the same thing. The Earth being hit by a large asteroid is rare, but very significant. The fact that only say, 1 in a 10000 democrats cheat doesn’t meant that that one doesn’t fill out 10,000 ballots.
I’ve read in several sources that Democrats are favoring absentee ballots and more Republicans are planning to go to the polling place. This simply reflects that. Am I missing a bigger deal here?
The lesson the rats learned in sixteen is they didnt cheat enough.
Fla is crucial and the gap there is MUCH higher than the other sates. It is very suspicious.
************************************************************
In Florida, EVERY other battleground state and potential battleground state, the Republicans need to insure that EVERY mail in and provisional vote has its signature RIGOROUSLY checked against the signature on record.
They banned me for life last year for no apparent reason other than snowflakes didn't like the historical facts I offered in my comments. I never used profanity, threats, racial slurs, nothing, but solid facts. I'm a 73 year old woman (72 at the time), and wear the ban as a badge of honor.
All the stories the media produces these days are nothing more than "Penny Dreadfuls," which are defined as "a cheap, sensational comic or storybook."
Yes This is consistent with what we have heard except but Fla is way past that. There is something rotten there.
They are using this as cover to add in votes and discourage Trump turnout. Can this be verified?
Not only that a lot of the Democrat ballots will be for Trump!!!
Good question.
They can’t.
So they make shit up.
Agree. Can you / someone get this message to President Trump’s team?
I think they listen to the peanut gallery - coming from FR.
I mean, who can watch the energy and brilliance of Joe Biden and not rush right out to vote for him?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Folks....a lot of our fellow citizens have the brain power of Sea Cucumbers, and they vote Democrat,
Im betting that the Dems are knocking on doors...
Trump campaign reaches 100M voters as team Biden avoids door knocks

What happens when you go to the polls and find out you already voted? Or only your mail in vote is counted?
My concern is that Republicans will show up to vote and find that someone has already placed their vote for them.
I have always believed the Left didnt think it had to cheat very hard for HILLARY to win. She was a shoo-in, according to the polls. I figure this year it will be the activists ballot harvesting all over the country. That is how they took over the House in 2018. The activists are busy requesting ballots, using made up names and sending the ballots to friendly addresses, where the activists can just pick up the excess ballots and fill them in. Voila! Another Dem vote recorded.
And the ComDems are better than their simple Dem predecessors.
Going back to before Landslide Lyndon Johnson and Ballot Box 13 in Jim Wells county in 1946.
I live in New York and what they do at the polling place is look up my name in this book and then they give me a ballot. I have no idea how this works if mail in ballots are used. Is my name then removed from the book if they get a mail in ballot? What if they don’t get the mail in ballot before I vote in person? Can they catch the double vote and eliminate one or do they not? I don’t trust this at all because in New York the only thing you need to register to vote is proof of address like a cellphone bill, it’s absolutely outrageous. This is how AOC won. I grew up in her district and the word is she had a campaign directed toward illegals showing them how to register and that’s why she won. 100% illegal but nobody does anything about it
This story is just another reason why mail-in voting is wrong. Why do we have tallies of mail-in ballots by political party two months before an election? Is it so the media can write stories about how great one party is doing?
Yours is a real concern. That will produce a provisional ballot and who knows what will happen to it.
