Democrats are also turning out more low-frequency and newly registered voters than the GOP

I'm not going to title this story with the Politico title, because I want everyone who hasn't voted or knows someone who hasn't voted for Biden/Harris and down-ticket democrats to get with it and vote. It's also because the title is hyperbole and we all expect Russpublicans that vote reliably on election day to turn out and vote for this cabal of crooks and liars.

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.

“It’s a warning flare,” said veteran Republican strategist Scott Reed. - Politico

1. wonder what the early voting will do to exit polling?

I mean really, the networks tend to rely on exit polls in specific districts to get an angle on overall results, and use it heavily to call a winner even if they don't make it public.

But on election day, the turnout will be largely white and conservative. It's really going to mess with models.

2. But, some states will have results pretty much when the polls close because

the early voting and vote by mail will already be counted so exit polls are a waste of effort for those states.

I wonder if they will even bother doing it.
