"About 400,000 people have voted, and with mail, GOP statewide lead almost 20,000 ballots.

Unheard of at this point in any other presidential cycle."

All these early voting numbers are fun....but

How do we know we're not supplementing early voting by taking away from election day voting?

Maybe I'm wrong but there's no way to tell if these are additional voters or the same voters that We would have depended to vote on election Day already.

Just not sure why everybody is getting so pumped up about this, given the fact that Trump has told voters to vote early. It's not like it's some surprise

There is a way to tell in some states. And in those states, the Republicans are getting more low propensity/new voters to vote more than Democrats.

It's why people like Halperin are saying that the race will be decided before election day if the current voting trends don't change.

You can track how much people vote in Nevada and that guy tracking the state says that Republicans have way more low propensity voters voting than the Dems do. GOP still looks to have a strong Election Day turnout like usual.

Correct, Low Propensity voters are turning out for Republicans in the early vote and High Propensity are turning out for Democrats

If I read that right, 400K plus have voted already in a state of 3.1 million. THAT'S high for this early.

Now straight from the state of Nevada from 2020:

2020 General Election Total
Active Registered Voters 1,822,166
Total Turnout 1,407,761 (77.26%)

Lets Gooooo! I sure do hope Trump pulls off an upset. I am also afraid that Democrats won't hand over power willingly. They will claim that the election wasn't "legitimate".

This, and the assumption that the pollsters have not corrected their past errors and are still undercounting Trump voters, are what have me worried.

Yes sir

Pruser has noted there are still plenty of more reliable GOP voters who still haven't voted yet. They could provide what he describes as a "backside pop" on election day.

Now we can quibble about use of terms and connotations and such, but the point remains.

I don’t have the time to do it but someone could probably pull cross tabs and other things on these public polls and see if any significant changes were made.

I think I saw something essentially that 16 and 20 they were off while doing better in 18 and 22 without Trump.

The real question is do the numbers get more accurate without any change if more people are outspoken about being a Trump supporter.

I have made the assumption on these tied or close polls they are still off 2 points. I don’t want to say it’s whatever the avarage miss is. I’d rather under estimate and be pleased with the results.

They probably are but them voting early gives the campaign time to target low propensity voters. So the benefit is both that it is psychologically beneficial to you, and devastating to Dems, to go into Election Day with a lead; and also you then you get to turn out the dumbest people on your side which can be the difference

Does Nevada typically have that many independents?

That’s another part of it and part of the early push is to then direct resources to the rest.

Now best news would be a lot of early voting R are new voters/ones that rarely vote and then you have high Election Day turnout.

Curious how they define low participation for a voter.

Every 4 years or is it a longer period.

I think Nevada has always had a lot of independents. It feels like a state that would have a lot
