The headlines have been stellar:
There are many more headlines, because that is the reality of the moment. In most early voting states, Democrats are killing it.
Republicans are already on the defensive, dealing with a nominee they don’t like and facing inevitable defeat. They have little ground game to get their unmotivated voters to the polls. Trump is suppressing his own vote with cries of “rigged!”
And when suddenly low-propensity voters are faced with a choice of turning out to vote for a loser, or staying home and doing anything but waste time on a loser? That means even more victories down ballot.
I’ve already written why an early vote matters more than an Election Day vote—it locks in your ballot in case of emergency or disaster, it frees up GOTV efforts to focus on our genuinely low-performing voters (we know you are going to vote!), it shrinks voter lines on Election Day, ensuring fewer voters are turned away, and … we get headlines like the ones above, hopefully depressing even more of their vote into inaction.
So vote early (if you can), and help lock in even bigger wins on Nov. 8!
