Election question:. Heard CNN say same day voting in AZ was breaking

75-25 for Covid-45. Early today before exits I believe.

How do they know that? From some informal exit polls?

Maybe I've gone crazy today, but it strikes me that knowing what the # of early votes and mail ins by party, this gives trump an advantage because they can extrapolate how many people they need to show up in person or his much to cheat by. Harder for us because most of our voters have voted??

And that isn't even correct. Turnout was neck and neck in early voting.
Everything I'm reading is Trump isn't covering his margins.

Is different. Like I read that in TX the early vote was skewing 48-46 to Biden. Much closer than other places. Yes, understand it's party affiliation and no-party a wild card. But seems totally different than what we are used to.

So they get lists of EVoters and that is what they are going on? They analyze the lists and accumulate by party affiliation? And then divide up no-party's some arbitrary way.

But yeah, no actual votes are available quite yet.
IN and KY (both Trump states) are starting to reveal votes, but you can ignore those states. Won't make any difference.
