New Swing State Early Voting Totals Confirm Explosive Blue Surge

Over 47 million Americans have already voted early in 25 percent of the states, according to the U.S. Election Project. It is possible that 100 million more votes will be coming in with 11 days to go before the traditional election day. The nation has a voting season, it seems. Even though the numbers favor the Democrats right now, voters should not get too comfortable.

Once burned by the 2016 surprise win, people know that every vote counts. The polls lean toward Joe Biden, but some of Donald Trump’s voters do not trust the government and by extension, the polls and poll takers. When Secretary Hillary Clinton ran against Trump, we saw a huge dome of Republican voters slowly rising on the horizon. This unrecognized voting effort gave the president just enough votes to carry the Electoral College.

Mail-in ballots tend to favor the Democrats, especially in this coronavirus pandemic. Republicans tend to wait until November 3.

Then, there is Trump’s threat of “rigged” elections. Unless Americans have a staggering win, he may well take the presidency to the Supreme Court where he is currently installing a loyal, mega-conservative justice.

Longtime Republican strategist Scott Reed said, according to The POLITICO:

‘It’s a warning flare. Some Republicans are stuck in a model that we always run up the score on Election Day to make up the difference. I think running an election in a superpolarized electorate, you want to win early voting. Let’s go. Let’s stop talking and making excuses.’

Hawkfish’s CEO Josh Mendelsohn said Democrats should not depend too heavily upon forecasting models:

‘Democrats are enthused, that’s clear. I find that folks want these models to be forecasts, and they want the forecasts to be like a hurricane forecast and just to be perfect. And it’s not, because it is like hurricanes, you’ve got a whole bunch of model tracks, of which some are more reliable than others in certain circumstances.’

Chris Wilson is a top Republican data analyst who independently reviewed the Hawkfish numbers for POLITICO. He said:

‘The concerning thing for Republicans is that once a Democrat vote is cast, or once a vote is cast in general, it can’t be taken back. That to me is the bigger issue here: Our window to message and convert any of these voters away from voting Democrat is shorter than the number of days left in the campaign.’

Wilson said:

‘Great news. We lead [in the polls]. But if you look at the early vote, we have to win 2-to-1 on Election Day. And that’s probably just about every contested race in America.’
