Vote-by-Mail Provided (Not Yet Returned):
Rs: 926,699
Ds: 1,203,033
Ds still have many more VBM ballots outstanding. They will run up their lead in that category more.
Many of these people who requested ballots will not end up voting by mail and instead opt for Early Voting because of fear their ballot will get lost in the mail especially now we are within 2 weeks of the election.
I think early voting will cannibalize a lot of these vote by mail ballot requests. Even Democrats are getting concerned with the post office.
The most relevant number is the combined vote number who turn in ballots and early vote.
Please consider, that in VBM, there are MANY ballots that are NEVER returned.
