I've been fascinated by these numbers and love dashboards in general. I'm a weird hybrid liberal arts major data geek. LOL!

(14,742 posts)Unless you voted early in-person on an electronic machine, there is a paper trail it would be very difficult to alter.
You can't recount electronically recoded tallies and get a corrected result unless some machines just weren't tallied in the first round.
But paper ballots are a lasting record.

(16,095 posts)8,969,226, which is 46.45% of the voting age population and 59.39% of registered voters.
Interesting.

(20,185 posts)of early voting. As of yesterday, 29% of registered voters in the 10 biggest counties have already voted by mail or in person, and our biggest counties are almost all blue. We still have 10 days of early voting.
The TOTAL number of early and mail in voters in 2016 was 4 Million and we had 15 Million registered voters. Now we have almost 17 Million.

(1,235 posts)where I keep track of:
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Iowa, Minnesota, Texas, Nevada, and North Carolina
I cross reference it with how Hillary did it a particular county in a state that she won or I compare it to a Democrat who won in 2018. I also look at the total votes for that state in the 2016 and 2018 elections.
When I get desperate for a Democratic state with a win comparison (Florida and North Carolina) I go back to Obamas wins in 2012 and 2008 (North Carolina)
THIS keeps me sane. Virginia isnt a swing state, but its my state so I keep track

(9,580 posts)I took my ballot to the PO over 2 weeks ago. The Secretary of State website says my ballot has not been rec'd. Last Friday I called them and was told they have 20,000 to 40,000 ballots they haven't "checked in" yet. WTF? I was told to call back this Friday.

(1,850 posts)I drive by the county board of elections almost daily on my way to town. Early voting started last Thursday, and cars have been backed up waiting to get into the lot to find parking, every day, especially in the morning.
I drove by on Monday at 4:35, no cars backed up, so I drove in, found a spot, walked to the entrance, one person ahead of me was being helped. I was shown to a poll worker station, protected by plexiglass, and 6+ feet from the next poll worker. They looked me up, gave me a ballot, a pen to keep, a paper to sign and return, and a qtip to use on the screen. Walked to the back, where there was a large entry to a huge room, doors open, many round tables, maybe 20, with 4 high private dividers on each. Volunteer led me to a spot, inserted my ballot, left, then I voted using the q tip, printed the ballot, and walked to the station by the doors where there were 2 machines to accept the ballot. Worker took it, inserted ballot, it was registered, I was done, before 5 pm! It was fast and easy. I think of the many that are waiting on long lines for hours; my heart, prayers and appreciation go out to them.
Meanwhile, I asked a friend in a neighboring county if they gave her a q tip to vote, and she said they do all manual ballots. I was surprised and impressed by that.
I have been waiting for almost 4 years to vote him out, along with those here on DU, and our fellow Americans who have come to understand how important it is to remove him.
We will vote, are voting, in unprecedented numbers. We will vote him out, and will hopefully learn and grow and install safeguards because of this cult 45 experience; and become a nation that continues to vote.
These early voting numbers are amazing!
