1. So much for the pollsters

who say exactly the opposite. They asked under 30s and AAs if they intended to vote. But real people, real voting, show an explosion in numbers.

5. Methodology? Or fake news

How are these early voting numbers generated. It's not even offered in Pennsylvania...

14. They're counting early AND absentee votes.

See https://targetearly.targetsmart.com .

If you scroll down to the "PA" row and click on the "Explore" link, you'll see the actual numbers.

4. We now know the

false media meme of young people and people of color not voting is just another crock of shit.

6. I'm sure they can find people from all

demographics who will happily tell reporters that they won't vote.

But that doesn't mean that there aren't others who ARE voting. We don't need everyone (thought it would be nice to have more than half of us voting) we need more than usual.

8. Your statement is true,again you can not fix stupid.

In the media world everything is possible,just like their use of a Straw Man.

7. Close, low turnout elections can be played with....massive turnout ones

not so much

I want trump and his people to continue to think it's a shoo in for them.

9. I figured this, I've never heard my nephew and his friend looking up how to vote before and they

... are hell bent this time.

I figured if the want to vote trickled down to them it was hitting other early 20 somethings.

10. As noted by post #5 - THIS is in error

Traditional battleground states have seen significant increases in early vote rates, especially among younger and non-white voters. In Arizona, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Nevada, voters aged 18–29 have all at least doubled their early vote turnout compared to 2014, with young voters increasing their early vote rate by 364% in Nevada and 411% in Pennsylvania.

There is no "early voting" in Pennsylvania and absentee voting must be "for cause". This doesn't mean that some of what they claim to be reporting about PA has to do with requests/returns of absentee ballots, but IMHO, PA should not be included in an "early voting" category and there is no "turnout" here for such.
