So seems like we look good in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina.aezmvp said:
So far roughly 27% of AZ is in and outside of the independents the GOP advantage is 50k. The GOP is behind in turnout as well with a growing lead because of the registration efforts. That means the GOP has the chance to increase their lead as they go on as well. The real question is where turnout overall is. 2020 was almost 80%, 2016 was just over 70%. That's about a 300k difference.
Also important to note is that the difference in 2020 in returned ballots was within a few thousand of the total difference. We will see about 75% of the ballots come in early if trends hold. Bottom line IF this keeps going on Kamala will need to win by 10 points on ED AND with independents. That seems.... unlikely.
What's interesting is that Trump doesn't even NEED the West battleground states at all.aezmvp said:
Correct. With NC, GA, NV, and AZ that should take Trump to 268. I can't imagine that Trump would get those 4 and not pick up one of the rust belt (MN, MI, PA, WI).

The main problem I see is rust belt currently has all democrat governors. A republican probably does have to win these states outside of a margin of fraud. 2 or 3 percent. Hopefully Shapiro feels spurned by being overlooked by Harris for VP and upset that she selected Waltz instead.
Saw a good discussion of whether Shapiro is likely to help Kamala or not. He is undoubtedly a bit bent about being spurned for Walz as her running mate. If she ends up winning, then any presidential hopes he might have are on hold until at least 2032, and presumably Walz would have the inside line as VP after that. So if he has presidential aspirations, it is far better for him if Kamala doesn't win in 2024, especially if she loses PA as part of that. It would let him claim that if she had just selected him, she would have won Pennsylvania.billydean05 said:

You don't have anything to worry about. So far, the inner city is sitting this election out.cman1494 said:
All the EV data looks good, but I can't help but worry that Republicans just won't turn out as well on Election Day and Harris will win. Maybe it's just my BAS kicking in.
Anyhow, did my part today and voted straight ticket R in Collin Co. today.

The early voting returns in places like Dallas, Houston, Atlanta and Detroit show that Kamala's campaign hasn't captured the hearts of Democrats in the inner city like Joe Biden did in 2020.
The early voting totals are through the roof in the Republican leaning suburbs. If the election ended today Trump would be around 380 to 400 electoral votes.
Kamala still has a chance to win this election, but her time is running out. She only has about 10 days to close her case among the Democrats in this election.

Republicans lead the Miami-Dade early voting by over 15 points.
I am speechless. pic.twitter.com/8BxHDnMZDi
Yep - R-D primary voter gap moved has moved 400k people to the positive compared to 2020 in Texas. I was worried about D turnout with all the news stories of record voting in Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio. It appears that Dems are voting at a lower propensity than 2020 in Texas similar to all the national trends. So Dems dependent on R cross-over if this keeps up.AtticusMatlock said:
If I'm reading this correctly, Republicans are up by several hundred thousand votes already in Texas compared to 2020 when at this point they were down by 170k?
Or are those numbers just the primary election turnout advantage in 2024 versus 2020?
Either way, it looks like a much more significant percentage of the voters in Texas this year so far voted in Republican primaries versus Democrat primaries. So the GOP / Cruz likely has a big cushion.
Republicans are definitely doing a better job than Democrats in Arizona getting their no/low prop voters banked in EV.

I've had more time after the show to look at the latest. Here are the spreads:
0/4 - No Prop: R+10,077
1/4 - Low Prop: R+10,777
2/4 - Low Prop: R+12,123
this is why we need McCormick to win in PA and Hovde in WI to have some GOP rule in the midwestbillydean05 said:

Day 3 of Florida early voting - the in-person voting has consistently been R+27 or so. From now on, I will be doing statewide updates WITH mail combined.
