I voted like 2 weeks ago. For god's sake get your ballot in on time. I've heard of no blizzards or typhoons or tornadoes or earthquakes. Do you want to have one of those things happen before you get to vote? No? So go now!!!! It's a super easy ballot. Go vote. The maga people are going to ruin us all if you don't go vote. Her something to drink so you're well hydrated. Get your sweater on and go! Or fill out your mail-in ballot and put it in your mailbox 📫. That's easier than cleaning your ears!

That it isn't 70%+ is why I laugh when people talk about women swinging the vote this election, that's actually a pathetic gap.

Let's just hope these numbers are so relatively low because the early votes are mostly elderly.

wow, what an impressive ~ 5% lead.

register to vote if it's not too late, vote

[–] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

5% is absolutely huge for a national election

Not that I'm not crossing everything except the streams that she beats the fascist, but women ≠ Harris voters. Trump won the white women vote in both 16 and 20.

Even now, there's a shitload of racist and/or religious white women eagerly voting away their own rights, so don't celebrate yet!

Vote like your life depends on it, because if you're a person who can get pregnant, LBGTQ+, an immigrant (regardless of legal status) or belong to any of several other scapegoated groups, it LITERALLY might!

I am deep undercover with all of my acquaintances, and it is astonishing how many of them are single issue voters, and the issue is democrat/republican. Their only source of news is fox 'news', talk radio, or people parroting those two. Maga and most republicans really are a cult in regards to their propensity to not listen to anything that contradicts what their leaders say. Their desires, contrary to their party's actions, about reproductive rights or liberal ideals won't make a difference. It doesn't matter if they are a woman, they are intimately tied to their party at this point, and not its principles/policies.

It's very well known dems vote early.

In other words,

Keep voting.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago

They probably didn't know about gEnOcIdE and WW3!

/s

Keep voting please!

Live Data https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/early-vote

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 21 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

that... 19% of "other" is going to be doing a lot of work here. if we assume they're 50/50, then I take this as, overall, good news.

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 9 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I think it's Independent.

The Wisconsin breakdown is bonkers.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 5 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Wisconsin doesn’t have party registrations as part of voter registration (we used to, back when I first registered, which is likely why there’s some partisan representation, but not for a long time), nor do you need to be registered with a party to vote in the primaries (everything is on one ballot, you can just only vote for one party).

So that huge chunk of “independent” is probably “new” registrations from the last 15 or so years. They just don’t have data because it stopped being a tracked metric.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

"other" is the catch all for anyone whose not registered as democrat or republican. It includes independents, yes, but it also includes all the 3rd parties and the people who simply didn't register one way or other (who might be repub or dem, anyhow).

[–] Takumidesh@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Yes, I am registered as unaffiliated, because I don't see why the political party I support needs to be publicly accessible.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 9 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

And people who've registered with a party are more likely to be proactive voters. Honestly there's so many complaicating factors here that trying to interpret this data is folly.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

Oh yeah. I don’t for a second believe it’s going to fall out to 50/50 on a perfect split.

Anyone telling you anything except that it’s too close to call, is selling you something.

But let me huff my copium, okay?

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

wtf? are these data random generated? they don't make sense.

there is 40% of republicans in 62 millions casted votes (so roughly 25 million) and suddenly 30% in the 63 million (roughly 19 million?) requested ballots?

either i am missing something, or these data are so imprecise that trying to analyse them is a fools errand.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

About half the states allow same-day voter registration, so there may be people who voted but did not specifically request mail in/early voting, and those who did request but have not cast their vote yet. So, for many states you could be in one set but not the other.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

ok, thank you. still - the fact there is such variance in the results means you shouldn't really try to draw any conclusions from it.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 1 points 16 minutes ago

Agreed. It's basically the political version of reading tea leaves.
