1. Keeps collapsing, but cool page. Thanks.

2. I'm surprised at Arizona and Nevada.

They look too red.

[arlyellowdog]

3. They are smaller so Republican vote harvesting can make an impact

[ananda]

7. I'm not sure I understand what vote harvesting is.

Would you mind helping me out here, please?

[arlyellowdog]

12. Oh I meant people going into restaurants and casinos getting votes

[ananda]

13. Do they take those people to the polls to vote?

Do they pay them?

How does that work?

TIA

9. If I recall correctly, Arizona is one of the states where Republicans vote by mail more than Dems. nt

11. Someone posted a site where Democrats are leading in those states further in this thread

4. Eh, where are they getting their numbers?

Because Michigan doesn't have partisan registration at all. You can request a Dem or Rep ballot during the primary season, but your actual voter registration is non partisan.

5. What were the numbers like in 16? Or 20?

Single data points don't tell us much.

6. that keeps crashing for me, I've included another link to the data if you want to add it

in case others are experiencing the same

This is my favorite part:

In-Person Early by Gender
Reporting states with gender data: CO, GA, ID, MI, NC, VA

8. Huge gender gap! Looks good!

[arlyellowdog]

10. I like yours better. Democrats are ahead in Arizona and Nevada

[ananda]

14. No they're not. Dems are losing badly in those states.

Click on the state and you'll see.

I just don't understand why.

I thought those states would go blue.
