In terms of quantity, Early voting numbers for Democrats are far below where they were in 2020. They are about the same for Republicans as 2020. In Pennsylvania, the percentage of Democrats in the early voting declined from 69% in 2020 to 58% in 2024. Republicans share increased from 21% of the early vote to 31%. Women outnumber men in early voting pretty much every year, it does not seem to be any higher than in 2020. About 1/3 of Harris voters are more concerned with voting against Trump, not for Harris. Among Trump voters it is closer to 1/4 are voting against Harris, not for Trump. At the end of the day, nobody can state definitively one way or the other who is going to win.

We won’t know for sure until the votes are certified. If Trump wins the vote, I fully expect Democrats to attempt to block the certification with 14th amendment arguments or other nonsense, just as they did in 2000, 2004 and 2016. They will likely riot again in DC or other spots, just as they did in 2016.

A lot of nonsense in there.

Yes, early voting is down for Democrats compared to 2020, because in 2020 we were in a pandemic, and DEMOCRATS recognized it as a real threat and decided to mail in, or drop off, or vote masked up on a day that wouldn't be as crowded as Election Day.

Does it make you feel better to know that some voters are voting for Harris as a vote AGAINST Trump rather than they are excited to vote FOR Harris? Sounds like you've got yourself a little blankie there. It's a binary choice. Harris or Trump. The levels of excitement for voting for either candidate is different for every voter. In my case, I WAS excited to vote for Harris (I've already voted), and I was ALSO casting a vote AGAINST Trump. I would have voted for a bag of hammers over Trump. He's a criminal, and he's dangerous.

Harris will win. It's over.

Harris is winning. Quit looking at polls, especially the barrage of GOP-funded bullsh*t polls. Every non-partisan poll shows Trump stuck just below 47% with Harris 3-4 points ahead and with leads in enough battleground states to win the Electoral College. The rest is just noise to rally the low-IQ voters and create the story that the race was "stolen" after Harris wins. She's way ahead with women voters and she's doing better with African Americans and Hispanics than Biden did. Educated white voters have moved further to Harris. Same for Independents. Trump has the uneducated white voters wrapped up. That's it. Finally, polling is not reflecting the R's that will vote for Harris. Think of all the high-profile R's who have publicly stated they aren't voting for Trump, now think of all those who will quietly vote for Harris while telling their friends otherwise. Ignore the noise, vote, and encourage others to do the same. If turnout is high, Trump is toast and it won't be particularly close. His only chance is suppressing the vote.
