According to state data that was updated just before 1 a.m. on Monday, there have been 181,711 votes cast so far through the weekend, with the vast majority of those (more than 166,000) cast in person.
Among those votes, the youngest demographic - those aged 18-24 - accounted for some of the largest turnout.
More than 18,000 voters in that age range went to the polls, about 10% of all the early votes so far. That's a strong uptick from their proportion of votes in the Nov. 8 election - which was about 6%.

Someone here with more expertise could clarify that.
All registered voters are eligible to vote.

A massive problem. If they vote, Republicans lose.
