To clarify the headlibe: early voting this cycle has exceeded early voting last cycle.
Thanks. I definitely thought “total” meant total.
Yeah it’s a very badly written headline - thanks for clarifying 👍
Thank you clarifying stranger.
Osprey reported last night the numbers were over 70 million national total. That’s the real record. That’s enthusiasm. That’s fired up. Proud of my country.
That’s excellent. No matter who wins, no matter why people vote how they do, it’s great to see so much participation!
It’s mostly due to Republicans backing off their “only vote on election day” bullshit because it hurt them last time.
This was my thought as well.
In 2020 they really pushed hard to tell their supporters to not early vote or vote by mail.
And this time they realize that those things are fine (and good and easy, though let’s never admit that!) so there’s a big upswing.
Also just no pandemic as well.
