Maricopa county has got plenty of Dems. But also a shitload of deplorables.

number of the mail-in ballots being processed now were dropped off Monday and Tuesday. Experts think they were largely from GOPers who tended to wait until the deadline, where ballots dropped off weeks ago were largely dropped off early by Democrats. The latter may have been largely processed. Who knows.

Ballots that were dropped off by voters who didn't vote on machines. So people that walked their ballots in instead of mailing them.

PA is new to mail in voting. Trump's rhetoric completely scared Republicans there from voting by mail. In AZ they've done vote by mail for years and Republicans like that. So they didn't really listen to Trump. This is how I heard Rachel or someone on there just describe it. So mail vote and day of are not as deeply divided by party there.

It was explained yesterday that they were absentee votes that came or were walked in on Saturday -Tuesday. I have a feeling that the latest were on top and that the ones on the bottom will favor Dems. They were called the late early votes.

Arizona has had mail in voting for some time, so republicans there had confidence in it and ignored all the RNC/Trump warnings to only vote in-person.
