Looking at the early voting, I am sure the turnout will be significantly higher than in 2016, perhaps even a record.

So I have to wonder how many new voters did TRUMP pick up these past 4 years? I find it hard to believe that anyone who was undecided in 2016 would come out and vote for him. If they like him so much, they would have voted for him in 2016 when he was behind in polls.

So I believe hope that most of these new voters are for Biden, people who may have had doubts about Hillary in 2016 but saw how evil this president is and now come out to vote him out.

I hope.

The youth turnout is great so far. They hate him.

In states where party affiliation is known for early voters, Dems have something like a 2-1 lead.

At the end of the day, that doesn’t guarantee anything.

Not the ones riding around in their jacked up pickups flying Confederate and Trump flags from the four corners of the trucks’ boxes.

Yeah, but they probably voted last time. We're talking truly new.

I'll let you know next Tuesday.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan

Wow! The GOP has been trying to say their 'activation' efforts have been especially good in Florida and PA... AZ is exciting, too.

Striking that WI and MI are a lot closer.

Regarding that graphic, were there totals attached?

I like those Pennsylvania numbers!

The fairly high "Other" numbers seem odd. Are we seeing Kanye Birthday Party voters?

No party or independent registrations have been growing in popularity.

Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

FWIW, folks who track these things say that among college students, Biden has a lead of (wait for it)...

50 points over Trump.

But what do they know. Probably fake news.

They don't vote in the numbers they poll -- never have.

I'm wondering how the no-party voters are going to parcel out. Anybody here have any data on how this is working out?
