1. I worry about the early voters
Some judge throwing them out because a 3rd party was not on the ballot.

7. I voted early in VA and think that a third party space, and a write in space, were provided.
I wasn't watching for this, though, so my memory may fail here.

6. 523 people voted there
The shading is not for partisan purposes, just indicating the number of votes.

9. I live here. I vote absentee. We don't get our ballots till Oct 8th
So I was wondering where/who is voting.
Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Montana allows any voter to request a ballot by mail. You can also vote in person. Montana offers early voting.
Vote in person Vote on Election Day Voters registered in Montana can look up where to vote on Montana's site. Vote early Montana voters can also vote before Election Day through a process called absentee in-person voting. The period for absentee in-person voting runs from Monday, October 5, 2020 to Monday, November 2, 2020, but dates and hours may vary based on where you live. What to bring You will be asked to show ID to vote in Montana. Acceptable forms include: a current photo ID showing your name; or a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, voter registration confirmation, government check or other government document showing your current name and address. Voters without ID: If you are unable to provide ID, you can still vote by requesting and filling out a "Polling Place Elector ID" form. Or, you can vote a provisional ballot. Your provisional ballot will be counted if you provide one of the items on the list to the county election office by 5:00 p.m. the day after the election, or mail it to the county election office postmarked by the day after the election. |

11. From the Twitter thread
Based on the 238 million voting-eligible Americans this year and slightly higher self-reporting of voter enthusiasm, I’d go with 65% turnout - or 155 million ballots cast. That would be up from 60% turnout in 2016 and the highest turnout in decades.
If his estimate holds up, Biden wins and wins big. |
