Oof... Less dems are voting early to date. Hope the trend reverses soon.
Please vote and encourage people to vote.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Been saying for months now this election will be Trump vs Harris vs the couch.
That's what you get when you're more interested in winning the "moderates" that are becoming less and less these days vs firing up your base.
We will. tomorrow is the first day to drop off our mail-in-ballot in a box close to us (the "satellite locations" in VA) but we're busy. We'll get it done in the next few days.
Beautiful!
Action complete. Two more Virginian's have voted early.
Nothing more satisfying than pulling up to the front door, walked past a LOOOONG line of people waiting to vote "in-person early" to drop my mail-in ballot into a secured drop box at the polling location, then driving off to get some grocery shopping done before the Wegman's gets too crowded :)
Early voting hasn't started for me yet, but I will be voting early when it does.
Keep in mind that they're compared to 2020, when voting patterns changed dramatically quite partisanly due to covid
Further they are just looking at county levels of voting, not individuals. Virginia does not have party of voters released. Dems have increased their rural voter outreach dramatically this year. For all we know this could mean higher dem turnout in rural areas. Republicans tend to strongly prefer voting on election day in most polling
Still good to encourage people to turnout early though!
