Early & Absentee Voting Megathread - Build the Freiwal

[Arkansas Yankee]

We are all going to learn our lesson from 2016 and not overexaggerate the early vote numbers, right?

This is Atlas, so there’s a zero percent chance of this.

Let’s be fair to Atlas.  Most political junkies spend to much time obsessing over early voting.

At the Election project the question has been raised as to whether this could be the first midterm since 1914 to have a 50% or more turnout:

Another observation I have is that the folks who are harassing Republican lawmakers are foolishly in the process of driving up the GOP turnout.  They are also in the process of making Senator McConnell a hero to Republicans.  I cannot understand why they are doing that.

Can someone explain this foolishness?

The fact that Heidi is DOA but Heller could survive is disgusting

Sounds great to me!

The Tampa Bay Times says the Blue Wave is mostly a mirage in Florida:

The Tampa Bay Times article did not say Nelson or Gillum could not win.  It merely expressed a belief that a Blue Wave was not building in Florida.
