Today is just the third day of early in person voting and it’s already at ~20% of the entire 2020 vote (both early and on election day)

Make sure to get out and vote!

      Well, when you’ve got people like Trump saying that mail-in voting is fraud, there are going to be some percentage of republicans who take that seriously and won’t do a mail-in ballot and will vote in person on election day every time.

      It makes sense because the people who always vote (retirees with few-to-no hobbies) are overwhelmingly republican.

        It’s increasingly the case that the reliable vote is blue due to the realignment of educated people from red to blue. College educated people are super reliable voters.

        Come on now, rage-viewing Fox Entertainment News and posting racial slurs to strangers on Twitter counts as a hobby, doesn’t it?
