The ballot is secret. So if a person, say the proverbial "suburban housewife", is registered as a Republican but is disgusted by tRump, that person may go with their partner to vote today.
That would be recorded as two registered Republicans and R operatives would rejoice thinking there are two R votes in the bag.
But there might be just one if the person doesn't want to reveal their true vote to their partner.
Could be as few as zero. They might both have disgust for tRump and even talked about it. Or possibly they both didn't want to say for fear of their partner getting angry or for fear of word getting out to their friends.
I think there may be more shy Biden voters than expected.

Democratic voters that "It's a done deal' R's have it, so just go home." They'd love for Dems to feel their votes aren't worth the time waiting in line.
Never believe an R!

And a whole lot fewer democrats doing the opposite for Trump.
