Small PSA: if you have an absentee ballot it’s likely too late to send it by post, due to the fuckery with the post office. To be sure it is counted, drop it off in person.
FromTheBeyond
Let’s hope that means they’re voting against Trump

With Barrett getting confirmed, we need way way WAY more. Get that Blue Tsunami.

Vote him out!

Imagine being the republican scumbags who've provoked the level of raw hatred it took to break an entire generation of their apathy.
StigsMilwaukeeCousin
Oh don't worry there's a good number of dumbasses voting annoying orange to keep antifa from burning down the suburbs.

Trump losing is not enough. The entire government needs to be changed. Just like a dirty diaper.
NellyWelly
YES!
MundoCani
You forgot to add sending most of them to jail too.
VodKanockerz
If anyone is in Missouri, you can vote early by telling the Election Committee that you will be out of town. No further details needed.
johnrocks
republicans hate this one simple trick

I voted yesterday!
sakela
I'm worried that there will be a lot of faithless electors desperate to stay in trump power instead of choosing what the majority voted for
furnitureandeffects
DONT STOP NOW AMERICA!
pushaford
Are there results yet?
itsthevoiceman
Won't get them for probably a month.
RealityInflicted
The interesting thing will be to see if all of this leads to a significant uptick in total votes.

Landslide 2020.
whydotheycometometodie
Read your state laws. Some allow both mail/absentee & in precinct to ensure your vote counted. Usually your precinct vote overrules the mail
TrapsAreIllegal
One can only hope they are voting to abolish Trump

Voted Sunday for the guy who isn't a Narcissistic Sociopath.

What is scary is Trump will lose the "popular" vote but could still win the election.
RyanH42
What could? That what will happen.
Gosuamakenatek
I fucking hate knowing every year that the majority will vote democrat but having no idea if it will actually matter. This is not democracy.
SheTurnedMeIntoANewtButIGotBetter
Just wait till he refuses to concede and the shit show it will cause https://youtu.be/WZWRhLW7Y8w
maxomrMonster
Hes going to say dems cheated because mail in ballots are counted latter, hes going to cause shootings
CaptainQuarkk
That's going to be the work of our 'impartial' supreme court. Kavanaugh of whatever his name is, is going to get tons of votes thrown out.
PoisonInJest
Roughly 18% just in early voting. Is this including early mail in?
imissmaplesyrup
255 VAP as of last year, so it’s close to 24% which is cool. 2016 total was 55.5%, I wonder what this year’s total will be
Alphonsevaher
Yes.
CMoeBaggins
Last I saw Texas was at 42% already. But that didn’t have Mondays numbers. I’ll have to look again.
CMoeBaggins
43.57% of eligible Texas voters have voted via in person and absentee as of end of day October 25th
magila
3 counties have already exceeded their TOTAL VOTE from 2016. Blue wave building on the horizon.
Trimule
How do you KNOW it's Blue? Repubs have been pushing the "Vote early" msg. too. saw a scary thing at PA Trump rally-He asked "how many 1/
Trimule
have already voted?" - almost no one -"How many will vote Elec. day?" Crowd roars - No one really has any idea what is going to happen.
pseudopseudonym
Hope dems take Texas somehow so hard. But with everything going on I have no idea what to expect this time.
CMoeBaggins
I know the family of 5 behind my wife and I were all voting red.
1TrueKingInTheNorth
Everyone here seems pretty confident all those early votes are anti-Trump. Dont be so sure folks. This can still end badly
TuffyTDog
If high vote turnout benefited the GOP, they wouldn't work so hard to make voting more difficult. Historically, it doesn't.
koops
^ remember remember the 3rd of November .... 2016
Tulayne
Yeah, my relative who believes Democrats are murdering newborns in droves also made sure to vote early.
bluerazzgummy
Yep. just cause Republicans claim mail-in = fraud, doesn’t mean they won’t do exactly that to avoid a virus they claim isn’t dangerous
LicensedAdHominem
Low turnout always benefits the right wing as the left wing always fragments or overthinks it. Can't do that if you ceded thinking
sarabear
Every day I pass my neighbor’s ultra-decorated-MAGA yard. My least favorite sign: “We are the STORM” makes me nauseous
rowanblaze
Statistically/historically, higher turnout translates to Democratic wins. But I do think it's good that more people are voting, regardless.
limonchiki
In my country, for whatever reason, mail-in votes tend to lean left.
Trimule
Saw a worrying thing-Trump asked PA rally if any had voted already -practically none-"How many voting on Elec. Day?" Crowd roars - Scary!
FuzzyX
Polls put Biden 9% to 10% in the lead where the error margin is usually +/- 5%. This means Trump needs a miracle come back to win.
lilmookieesquire
They didn't take over the judicial branch for noth'n.
bingotown
Or a rigged vote - which they’re trying hard to do.
FuzzyX
Don't we forget gerrymandering.
popejubal
Or election night voter suppression in left leaning districts plus challenging the status of mailed ballots plus electoral college, etc.
popejubal
(or just flat out declaring the election invalid and staging a coup)
TheBeigePhillip
Statistically, early voters tend to lean left, but this is a weird year
IHateCakeDays
But because of EC, doesn’t really matter if all Californians vote for Biden, wins popular, but not EC
TheBeigePhillip
Where it matters is places like TX and GA, unusually competitive this cycle
Nuds
Yeah the early vote number can't really be compared to previous years, since you know deadly airborne pandemic isn't a usual thing.
oboemilyf
While I want Trump to lose, I’m happy regardless about high turnout because we’ll have a better gauge of what the majority want
TaraPol
Are you aware that currently, voting systems and avenues are actively being meddled with by officials from the White House?
TaraPol
An are you aware that this post meddling clearly undercuts impoverished communities which lack access to safe ballot delivery.
TaraPol
Are you aware the majority are privileged folks with time and resources and less stress? Majority will turnout - but that’s not the goal.
BritishGingerLefty
This is the thing right. You can’t really get upset if that is what the people choose.
MarleafChef
If that were the case then I'd be fine. But popular vote usually vote dems but electoral college votes repub. So millions equal nothing.
Imjusthereforthecomments
When/if the majority choose Trump I’m not going to be happy.
TheIceHorse
It'll just confirm what I've thought all along about my country, it's a shithole.
slack3rdav3
if the majority choose trump, im out this bitch
GoodbyeCassini
Yeah, not sure I agree that the majority of voters voting for a fascist is a sign of a healthy democracy.
Rogahar
Keep in mind, the majority didn't vote for him last time either. #AbolishTheEC
Firegoa1
What if he wins. Like seriously
YouThinkThatsBad
We escape to Cana- wait, nope. Trump fucked that up as a possibility.

Then the rest of the World's dissapointment in American population is simply proven justified and it'll be a good time to invest in pop corn

We all chip in and hire China to build a wall up each coast and across both borders, I think the Russians get Alaska and Japan gets Hawaii.

Gotta sell the small brown people island and buy the big white people island.

US steps down as an only super power into the place of regional power, thus creating power vacuum all around the world. Dollar stops being1
tomitau
no1 money in the world, and since there is ~10x more money than the global GDP, we can simplify and say that Dollar would lose at least 2
tomitau
that much of its value. Yours is a complex question, and I cannot answer it as so. TLDR Trump win bad news, Biden win - a breathing time.
Firegoa1
Thank you good man
HenryLongfellowIII
That would be bad for hegemony but not necessarily bad for most Americans, especially in the medium to long run.
NellyWelly
By most Americans, I guess you aren't including anyone affected by the repeal of the clean water act? 1
HenryLongfellowIII
I'm specifically referring to loss of hegemony and US dollar reserve status ONLY, not domestic affairs.
HenryLongfellowIII
If anything that should result in more available resources at home, especially priced in USD, and more jobs.
NellyWelly
Or anyone with pre-existing medical conditions. Or anyone who is pro-choice, not Christian, doesn't want Corona virus, has a green card, 2

Thanks to Betsy DeVos it would also mean children in public schools would have a worse time. Especially, those receiving SNAP

That includes you, dead people and fictional characters
Kenkenny82
That would be funny if it didn't really happened... ok it's still funny.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
You have a source to back up that sensational claim?
Kenkenny82
Sadly, I can't find the source, it was around 2005, in France. The far right got caught with fake voters by using the name of deceased ppl.
BrodahCrispy
So not america and it was the right doing the shady shit... gotcha.
Kenkenny82
So instead I can give you this.
