Recent polls are asking if people have voted and for whom. We seem to be doing well so far. Unclear the final outcome.

Seem to show that yes. Let alone the demographics and party id of those places that report such.

don't trust the mail, or don't want to stand in line due to age or covid.

I would also expect that the NEW voters, who would more than likely be Democrats (a lot more motivation to register for Democrats) would also fall into those voting early due to distrust of the mail, or not wanting to be exposed to covid.

Republicans may want to wait until election day so THEIR votes will be used to announce the tally Tuesday night, which will NOT include many mail-in votes. If the turd is ahead based on THOSE election day votes, he will want to run with it and use it to appeal to the supreme court. Amy is salivating at the prospect, as we type.

But I am not a political analyzer, and YMMV.

So we know for example, that 78% of ballots returned are from Democrats. Or we know there at democratic districts.
