Looks to me that the DNC is already making the steal.

How stupid to you have to be to wait in line for hours to vote in a state that lets you vote by mail?

Most GOP does not trust the mail and are going in person. Also not all Democrats are voting for Biden.

This is why I voted by absentee ballot, in spite of advice to vote in person.

But the fact that Democrats have such a massive lead in returned ballots in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania has got to be causing concern among Republican officials.
__________________________________________________________
In 2006 in my state of Maryland, the incumbent Republican governor and the state party launched a million dollar effort to convince Republicans to vote by mail. They sent out absentee applications to all Rs, I must have received 10 robo-calls begging me to vote early. It worked. Republicans flooded the mailboxes with mail votes, and Democrats got nervous. HOWEVER, REPUBLICANS GOT CRUSHED IN THAT ELECTION. All we did was cannibalize our in-person voting. The same thing is happening to Dems this year. The overwhelming majority of these mail votes are by seniors/older people.

Fully expected actually. Trump has been constantly telling his supporters to vote in person and not trust vote-by-mail.

The Dems have been advocating the exact opposite.

The messages came through loud and clear. I am fully prepared to stand in line on Election Day for however many hours are required.

“But the fact that Democrats have such a massive lead in returned ballots in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania has got to be causing concern among Republican officials.”

For the life of me I cannot understand what the hell the difference is between voting today or voting in 3 weeks. A vote counts only once and when it is cast cannot make a difference. The Left always votes early and in greater numbers than the Rep’s. If it is more so this year it is because they are scared shit less of the China virus and want nothing to do with going out to vote if they don’t have to go.

This is a meaningless statement without data comparison to previous years.

Democrats always have "a massive lead in returned ballots" at this point.

If you look at who is voting early mail ballots it is the super voters and frequent voters mostly ...They’re going to vote no matter what what you need to look for are the infrequent voters l, new voters, and less common voters and those don’t seem to be up a lot

But you really don’t know how a person voted until you process the ballots do you? Is this just the numbers of ballots received or is this an actual vote count for a candidate?

Waiting 9 hours in line and they are afraid of the virus?

The headline does not jive with the text.

9 hour waits to vote by mail?

For conservative voters I suggest that if one mails their ballot, they do it early. I mailed by ballot on October 7. I looked at my county’s website and didn’t see my ballot received and accepted until October 14 even though the county recorded receiving the ballot on October 9. So the county waited 5 days after receiving my ballot to change their website to indicate acceptance of my ballot.

We live in a town of about 7 K, nearly all white, RECORD shattering first day of early voting. 1.5 hr wait, they started lining up at 7 AM, opened at 8:30 AM.

The good news for Republicans is that everyone is expecting the GOP to have an overwhelming turnout on Election Day itself.

Four or five really bloody and very spectacular Antifa/BLM terrorist attacks on polling places early in the day will fix that!

I too am worried about Pennsylvania. I read that 1.7 million Democrats and 0.641 million Republicans applied for absentee ballots in Pennsylvania. That is only a 3:1 ratio favoring Democrats. Republicans need to mail in their ballots to get the ratio closer to 3:1.

I early voted in person yesterday here in Nebraska. My stress level has been mounting over Nov. 3 and wanted to make sure I got my vote in in case something happens on or shortly before Election Day. There were lots of folks there in my conservative county exercising their civic duty. It only took a few minutes and I am feeling a sense of relief for getting it done. I did my part to try and make sure I am not represented in Congress by the absolute moonbat Kara Eastman.

A sign that apathetic Republican couch potatoes are waking up to what will be their fate if Trump loses?

I’m fascinated by the rush to vote on the first day of early voting.

This is a measure that people’s minds are made up and just let them vote already.

And to think that there was going to be a second of three debates tonight. Apparently, people aren’t waiting to see the results anymore.

They just want it over. They just want to vote.
