(1,737 posts)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.

(19,059 posts)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.

(95,247 posts)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.

(1,156 posts)We not only get more than half of NPA but we might get 15% of Republicans
The Magistrate
(95,247 posts)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.
