Early voting for the first time has revealed how much to me the black vote is low propensity...or I guess low effort would be better. I think that's why mail in heavy 2020 let them shine.

In the heart of very black and very Democrat Shreveport, I saw maybe 6 black voters in a very long line. Of the 6 I saw... most (at least 4) came straight up to the cop, claimed to have some kind of disability (I'm here to nor interested in speculating if it was legit or not) and got shuffled to the front of the line...dropping g the effort for them to vote

White liberals make liberal politics their whole life...they would camp out a week to vote, most of the nation is pissed is getting out the vote to correct course. It seems like everywhere the black vote is lagging, and while anecdotal, I feel like I saw why

Here’s my only concern…. Republicans are outpacing democrats early voting but are these unlikely voters doing it early or are these typical day of voters who are voting early? Republicans still need a heavy vote in Election Day. That’s typically when we pull ahead of Democrats.

It’s great to jump out to an early lead but we’re still need day of votes. This election season is something we’ve never witnessed.

My opinion…. There will be more republicans vote this election than any election prior and I think many democrats have switched parties. I also think the democrats are not motivated. She has less enthusiasm than any prior Democrat in recent history.

Republicans are turning out Low Propensity voters according to the Data Gurus on X. That's what the get out the early vote by the RNC goal was, find the low propensity voters and get them to vote early

So far…..

The Democrats are behind their previous performance of 2020. Not by a little, but by a lot. Anyone with common sense can see Kamala is a bad candidate. She makes Biden look like a gregarious showman, lol.

That’s an understatement, lol. She is not very relatable or likable.

Suburban women will put Harris over the top. The lower black turnout doesn’t matter, those ballots will still be harvested/filled out

It's fricking crazy that you as a Democrat, openly acknowledge your party's unethical behavior and see no issue with it.

40 percent would be like 200K votes. Going to be hard to manufacturer.

Pittsburgh seems to be a lot more Trumpy than Philly . I bet he gets close to 30% Black vote in Western PA.

Thanks, JB! I haven’t been watching a lot about the early votes but if you’re right this thing is cooked. If the regular “Day of voters” like me still show up and most of these early votes truly are low propensity then this thing could get out of hand.

Those ballots will show up even if the voters don’t. It’s Philly.

No Problem. That's what the data gurus are saying so the numbers are the numbers. Another good example is 2 days ago Jon Ralston speculated the numbers in Nevada would slow down for Republicans but that didn't happen. They actually increased to a 30,000 Republican lead. He got awfully quiet after that.

And there is no telling how many democrats that are voting are voting for Trump!
Exactly! They have to go to the grocery store, and when they do, they also feel like they have walked into a foreign country.
