Breakdown of voters who haven't yet voted in FL on election day (Original Post) octoberlib Nov 2020 OP
Maybe it's too early for me, but I don't see how his stats support what he's trying to say. Goodheart Nov 2020 #1

on election day to make it to work on time. Which is what we all did at one time.

The polls close at 7 pm. This early freakout is not necessary. I haven't even gotten out of bed and I'm sure many others are just beginning their day as well. Give us the stat at mid-day, that will be more helpful. Palm Beach will not have more Republicans voting than Democrats.

Saw similar stats in WI. There isn't going to be some Red Wave on day of voting in most of these swing states, Reps voted early too.

This is good news and I still think it's really hard to quantify what smaller lines in the cities because of early voting will mean, but it's definitely a big advantage to Dems. Democrats lose perhaps millions of votes due to long lines in the cities every election.

Some of this analysis seems a bit simplistic. It assumes every registered Democrat or Republican votes for their party's ticket. It's not always a safe assumption.

Especially in southern and Appalachian states, there are appreciable numbers of people registered as Democrats who have not voted for a Democrat on the Party's national ticket in a dog's age.
