My gut says the surge in early voting is more A) early voting becoming more normalized/common B) people whose minds were made up months ago

I'm not sure we can or should read anything into the upticks in early voting at this point

(Remember, numbers from yesterday show early voting up significantly in red counties in Texas too)

Yeah, one of the easiest bets to make is that advanced voting will continue to rise for at least a few more election cycles. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Oct 25, 08:34 1

Side note, I saw a Rasmussen poll from Sept. that 56% of likely voters were planning on waiting until Election Day, up from 52% in the 2014 mid-terms. - znufrii Oct 25, 08:30 4
- this is the current right wing talk radio theory: Trumpers won't vote early because they don't want their absentee or mail ballots shredded - mr monkey Oct 25, 08:35
- I think there is more motivation in a presidential but I'm only guessing. -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:33 2
  - Another data point, in the ABC News poll out this morning, 5% of respondents had already voted. -- nm* - znufrii Oct 25, 08:39 1
    - Without comparable 2012 and/or 2008 data, that tells me nothing -- nm - ty97 Oct 25, 08:41
