Democrats show signs of outpacing Republicans in mail voting
As the 2020 general election countdown rapidly approaches the 100 day mark on Sunday, pandemic conditions continue to sweep the nation, forcing many Americans to reassess their approach to voting practices ahead of November, as available data seems to indicate that Democrats are leaning into mail voting in greater numbers than Republicans.
The aftermath of a hectic and unprecedented primary season -- one that largely forced election officials to factor health concerns into how elections were administered -- played a major factor in the apparent shift, and led to more voters requesting to cast their ballots by mail than ever before.
In the key battleground of Florida and Ohio, Democrats outpaced Republicans in absentee ballot requests during primary contests. North Carolina, another state that is crucial for the presidential electoral count, is slated to be among the first to mail general election ballots this fall. There, Democrats’ requests for absentee ballots currently top Republicans by nearly five times.
“Vote by mail is like locking up points, you’re scoring goals early,” said Kelly Dietrich, founder of the National Democratic Training Committee, during a Thursday conference call with reporters.
