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!

Are there any polls of these early votes? Is it tracking higher than 2020, which in itself was a very high amount of votes? I wonder if that is a good thing.
Tracking higher than 2020 numbers in many states. In Georgia, this year’s first day early voting turnout (~310k) was over double the 2020 first day early voting (~135k).
Keep in mind that COVID changed voting patterns in 2020 so comparisons can be funky. Even still 2020 had higher early voting turnout (especially by mail) than we had historically seen, so being on track for higher early turnout is great to see
Early voting has historically been heavy in dem’s favor and polling on voting prefering suggest that this has not changed all that much. There is a strong partisian divide in voting early vs election day
Exit polling data (asking people who they voted for) is not released until after polls close on election day
Are there mail vote numbers yet? Possibly those who voted by mail last time are just doing it in person now.
