Shouldn't the large early voting turnout in Georgia be taken as a good sign for Harris?

Asked by LostInParadise (32144points) 9 hours ago

Democrats in previous elections have voted early disproportionately to Republicans. Trump opposes early voting. I know that the polling has been close, but it seems to me that a large number of first day Georgia voters, twice as many as last year, would be a good sign for Harris.

I can only hope so.

No! Assume nothing.

Plus, Trump is now encouraging Republicans to early vote.

That should be twice as many as last election, not last year. Link

The question is if the voters were in Atlanta and other large Democratic areas . . . Trump’s ass is grass.

The only way he wins is he starts having his minions killing Democrats !

I really hope so, the world isn’t ready for another Trump round.

Democrats do tend to vote early more than republicans do. I just saw this information tonight:

Pennsylvania early voting: mail in ballots returned so far.

Democrats 358,703 (35.4% returned)
Republican 130,076 (26.8%)
Other 47,433 (23.2%)

Not necessarily.

Right now the county next to me has significantly more votes cast by Democrats because they organized for early voting. My guess is the final vote will be over 60% for Trump in that county.

Here is a quote from Trump a few days ago, “Go vote the minute the polls open.” An article about it: https://nz.news.yahoo.com/trump-early-voting-arizona-vote-142133397.html

Dems are typically larger early voters. However this really is not a large turnout enough to make a difference.

I am not saying that the early voting in and of itself makes a difference, only that it imay indicate a large number of Democratic votes overall.
