13. Counting the early votes (Dem) first? Before today's count (GOP)?

So we are not getting a true picture of final count right now?

16. We need to see those numbers as they come in. They will tell the tale. nt

10. "In the first post-November election without Trump on the ballot, some analyses of early voting

suggest Democrats maintained their enthusiasm, especially thanks to Black voters." - posted 6 mins. ago.

11. Just reading the NYT's commentary

Democrats are starting to pull clearly, if slightly, ahead in our estimates, as they're outperforming our expectations across all vote methods. The only good news for the GOP is that the election day turnout is a hair higher than we expected. Republican hopes rest on the election day vote; there's still a lot of it left, and maybe they'll do better with what's left than what's counted. With the race so close, they'd have to do only a little bit better than they've done so far to fight back to a dead heat.

and doing a quick rewrite to show the bias

Democrats are clearly ahead in early reports. The hope of the GOP is that the election day turnout is higher than expected. Republican hopes rest on the Election Day vote, as they have completely failed to govern fairly and botched the coronavirus pandemic. It may be that they'll do better with what's left than what's counted. With the race so close, the GOP has to do only a little bit better than they've done so far to fight back to a dead heat.
