Then how do we account for the longer lines?

Probably corona virus protocols at the polling place slowing everything down to a crawl

Social distancing and technology does not always make things faster. I'm for going back to paper ballots so votes aren't stored in Spain where they can be manipulated

People standing 6 feet apart instead of on top of each other is one way to make a line look roughly 5-6 times longer than it really is.

I mean, this is still pretty far out from the election. If we’re at 21.6% now, there seems to be a very high degree of probability that we exceed that 40.8 number in the next 2 weeks.
Why didn’t he compare the current numbers to the percent of ballots that were cast 2 weeks before the last election? That’s very obviously the number we need to have if we want to say whether or not there is a surge

Instead of being 2-3 feet from the person in front of me, I was 6-9 feet from her at all times because the line was outside, I don’t wear masks outside and she was elderly.
The lines are longer because we are staying further apart.

That's how we do it in MS. Paper ballot filled in with a pencil then fed into a scanner. Also no early voting

People were going to vote early and mail in more. We knew that.
We just don’t know how significant it will be in relation to Election Day voting.
The only way we will know is when we count post-election, really.

There has been no line here since last Wednesday

Social distancing requirements and a lot of people deciding to vote as soon as they can - since Biden, Harris, and all Democrats have been screaming vote now and vote as early as you can, etc... It's just front loading votes instead of spreading it out over time.
