early voting by republicans is change in voting pattern; “math doesn’t work for democrats,” analyst said on cnn

(zh) cnn panel looked shocked after guest Marc Lotter suggested a significant shortfall in democrat early voting vs. 2020 portends a bad time for Kamala Harris.

“‘the math doesn’t work. the democrats are down 1.7 million early votes in the battleground states in urban areas,’ said Lotter. ‘they are down 1.4 million votes in the battleground states among women voters.

“‘rural voters have overperformed early by 300,000,’ he continued, noting that ‘democrats have to win their races early. republicans generally win them on election day.

“‘the margins don't add up right now for the democrats in any of these battleground states.

“Lotter’s comments come after the Trump campaign touted bullish data showing republicans gaining ground with the early vote in battleground states vs. the 2020 election cycle.

“according to the campaign, new and infrequent voters are leaning more republican than democrat based on the latest indications from arizona, north Carolina, nevada and Pennsylvania, the ny post reports, citing a source in the camp.

“‘in those states, democrats have more than 1.4 million voters who voted before election day in 2020 or 2022 but have not voted yet’ — despite early voting being closed in nearly every state — ‘and many not having even requested a mail ballot,’ the source said, suggesting that democrat turnout might not be as strong this time around.”

GRA: Comparing “covid voting” patterns in 2020 to 2024 is ridiculous. I voted early for the first time this election, but it’s only one vote, no matter WHEN I vote. What it all boils down to is how many women, men, blacks and mex vote—and in what percentages—and it doesn’t matter WHEN they vote.
