Democrats Have Massive Lead In Early Vote
October 23, 2020 at 6:55 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Democrats have opened up a yawning gap in early voting over Republicans in six of the most crucial battleground states but that only begins to tell the story of their advantage heading into Election Day, Politico reports.
In a more worrisome sign for Republicans, Democrats are also turning out more low-frequency and newly registered voters than the GOP, according to internal data shared with Politico by Hawkfish, a new Democratic research firm, which was reviewed by Republicans and independent experts.
The turnout data does not mean Donald Trump will lose to Joe Biden. Both sides are bracing for a close race and a giant wave of Republicans to vote in person on Nov. 3. Yet the turnout disparity with new and less-reliable voters has forced Republican political operatives to take notice.
