Swing State Early Voting Update

[Mr.WeRP]

This is an update of where the election is on early voting and as it is compared to the vote totals from 2020. Data is sourced from https://election.lab.ufl.edu.

When states share party affiliation, that is shown by percent breakdown. When states share gender, that is shown since there is an obvious gender gap this election cycle. (EDIT: WI does not share early voting data.) I am also considering FL a swing state this election cycle. I would have included TX but they do not share early voting data.

Summary: turnout in early voting is good with 12 days to November 5th. The largest early voting turnout so far is in GA, MI, NC, PA and VA. Dems are outpacing Reps in early voting for MI and PA by large margins and close in the remaining states. However, there is a clear gender gap in early voting with Women outpacing men by 10+ points in all states that report it.
