Oof... Less dems are voting early to date. Hope the trend reverses soon.
Please vote and encourage people to vote.
We will. tomorrow is the first day to drop off our mail-in-ballot in a box close to us (the "satellite locations" in VA) but we're busy. We'll get it done in the next few days.
Beautiful!
Early voting hasn't started for me yet, but I will be voting early when it does.
Keep in mind that they're compared to 2020, when voting patterns changed dramatically quite partisanly due to covid
Further they are just looking at county levels of voting, not individuals. Virginia does not have party of voters released. Dems have increased their rural voter outreach dramatically this year. For all we know this could mean higher dem turnout in rural areas. Republicans tend to strongly prefer voting on election day in most polling
Still good to encourage people to turnout early though!
Been saying for months now this election will be Trump vs Harris vs the couch.
That's what you get when you're more interested in winning the "moderates" that are becoming less and less these days vs firing up your base.
