I expect fewer problems in Democratic strongholds like Milwaukee, Philadelphia and Miami that always have election day voting issues.

I could see this as very demotivating to Trump supporters as more and more stories of "Biden has a huge lead already" continue to run. I don't think we will have a record turnout. I think Republican turnout will be low because a lot of them will not bother if they think the election is already decided.
